Abstract

The current disclosure relates to methods and compositions for improving plant varieties through plant breeding and plant genetics. For instance, the disclosure concerns increasing the recombination frequency of a heterozygous trait genetically linked to a second trait within plants. Further, the disclosure concerns breaking the genetic linkage between a first allele and a second allele.
