| Abstract: |
Recombination, the reciprocal exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes, is a mandatory step necessary for meiosis progression. Crossovers between homologous chromosomes generate new combinations of alleles and maintain genetic diversity. Due to genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors, the recombination landscape is highly heterogeneous along the chromosomes and it also differs between populations and between sexes. Here, we investigated recombination characteristics across the 19 chromosomes of the model allopolyploid crop species oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.), using two unique multiparental populations derived from two genetically divergent founder pools, each of which comprised 50 genetically diverse founder accessions. A fully balanced, pairwise chain-crossing scheme was utilized to create each of the two populations. A total of 3213 individuals, spanning five successive generations, were genotyped using a 15K SNP array. We observed uneven distribution of recombination along chromosomes, with some genomic regions undergoing substantially more frequent recombination in both populations. In both populations, maternal recombination events were more frequent than paternal recombination. This study provides unique insight into the recombination landscape at chromosomal level and reveals a maternal–paternal bias for recombination number with implications for breeding.
