Chromosome pairing: a hidden treasure no more. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Many generations of biologists have been intrigued by the myriad structures that eukaryotic chromosomes can adopt and have questioned how their form relates to function [1], [2]. One organizational state that chromosomes adopt is pairing in a homology-dependent manner [3]–[8].

Chromosome Pairing in Polyploid Grasses [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Polyploids are species in which three or more sets of chromosomes coexist. Polyploidy frequently occurs in plants and plays a major role in their evolution.

Modeling cell biological features of meiotic chromosome pairing to study interlock resolution. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 During meiosis, homologous chromosomes become associated side by side in a process known as homologous chromosome pairing. Pairing requires long range chromosome motion through a nucleus that is full of other chromosomes.

Chromosome Pairing in Hybrid Progeny between Triticum aestivum and Elytrigia elongata [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 In this study, the intergeneric hybrids F1, F2, BC1F1, BC1F2, and BC2F1 from Elytrigia elongata and Triticum aestivum crosses were produced to study their chromosome pairing behavior. The average E. elongata chromosome configuration of the two F1 hybrids

Mechanics and dynamics of X-chromosome pairing at X inactivation. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2008 At the onset of X-chromosome inactivation, the vital process whereby female mammalian cells equalize X products with respect to males, the X chromosomes are colocalized along their Xic (X-inactivation center) regions.

California Agriculture, 1982 Not available – first paragraph follows: Success in hybridizing wild with cultivated species ultimately depends on the ability of the alien chromosomes to pair and recombine with the chromosomes of the crop species at meiosis.

Protein phosphatase 4 promotes chromosome pairing and synapsis, and contributes to maintaining crossover competence with increasing age. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Prior to the meiotic divisions, dynamic chromosome reorganizations including pairing, synapsis, and recombination of maternal and paternal chromosome pairs must occur in a highly regulated fashion during meiotic prophase.
