Abstract

This entry represents a group of plant meiosis-specific proteins, such as AtASY3 from Arabidopsis and PAIR3 from rice. They are coiled-coil domain proteins required for normal meiosis [ 1 ]. PAIR3 is an axial element and part of the synaptonemal complex (SC) that forms between homologous chromosomes during meiosis [ 2 ].
