A homolog of yeast, mouse and human mnd1delta protein. Null mutants exhibit normal vegetative and flower development; however, during prophase I, chromosomes become fragmented resulting in random distribution of the fragments between polyads. Both male and female meiosis are defective and strong accumulation of AtRAD51 was observed in the inflorescence nuclei of mutant plants. Similarly to its yeast and animal homologues, AtMnd1 might play a role in DSB repair during meiosis.
