Abstract
The sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) genome is one of the most complex. Modern varieties are highly polyploid and aneuploid as a result of hybridization between Saccharum officinarum and S. spontaneum. Few studies have been carried out on meiotic control in polyploid species, with the exception of the Ph1 locus that harbors the ZIP4 gene (TaZIP4-B2), whose function is to promote homologous pair…
