Open AccessThe RING Domain of Rice HEI10 is Essential for Male, But Not Female Fertility
HEI10 is a conserved E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in crossover formation during meiosis, and is thus essential for both male and female gamete development. Here, we have discovered a novel allele of HEI10 in rice...
