ZmSPO11-2 is critical for meiotic recombination in maize.
Most plant species have three or more SPO11/TOPOVIA homologs and two TOPOVIB homologs, which associate to trigger meiotic double-strand break (DSB) formation and subsequent meiotic recombination. In Zea mays L. (maize), ZmSPO11-1 and ZmMTOPVIB have been reported to be indispensable for the initiation of meiotic recombination, yet the function of ZmSPO11-2 remains unclear. In this study, we characterized meiotic functions of ZmSPO11-2 during male meiosis in maize. Two independent Zmspo11-1 knock-out mutants exhibited normal vegetative growth but both male and female sterility. The formation of meiotic DSBs of DNA molecules was fully abolished in the Zmspo11-2 plants, leading to the defective homologous chromosome paring, synapsis, recombination, and segregation. However, the bipolar spindle assembly was not noticeably affected in Zmspo11-2 meiocytes. Overall, our results demonstrate that as its partner ZmSPO11-1 and ZmMTOPVIB, ZmSPO11-2 plays essential roles in DSB formation and homologous recombination in maize meiosis.
