A maize chromosome variant called abnormal chromosome 10 (Ab10) converts knobs on chromosome arms into neocentromeres, causing their preferential segregation to egg cells in a process known as meiotic drive. We previously demonstrated that the gene <i>Kinesin driver</i> (<i>Kindr</i>) on Ab10 encodes a kinesin-14 required to mobilize neocentromeres made up of the major tandem repeat knob180. Here we describe a second kinesin-14 gene, <i>TR-1 kinesin</i> (<i>Trkin</i>), that is required to mobili ...[more]
