Abstract: Methods of targeted recombination between homologous chromosomes in the genome of a somatic plant cell are described herein, wherein the target site may be located within a region of euchromatin or a region of heterochromatin. These methods may be used to induce a somatic plant cell into using targeted recombination between homologous chromosomes leading to targeted crossover or gene conversion. Methods described utilize a preselected endogenous target site at a locus having polymorphic alleles on the homologous chromosomes. Target site loci disclosed include those within euchromatin and heterochromatin.
