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.

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].

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

The functional organization of chromosome territories in single nuclei during zygotic genome activation [PDF]
Scientific ReportsChromosome territories (CTs) are intricately organized and regulated within the nucleus. Despite remarkable advances in our understanding of genome packaging and gene expression, the interplay among CTs, pairing of parental homologous chromosomes, and ...

Role of chromosome ends in meiotic stability, recombination and wheat evolution in the context of breeding [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyWheat is one of the most important crops worldwide, and understanding its genome organisation is crucial for geneticists and breeders. In this study, we examined the dynamic roles of telomeric and subtelomeric regions in wheat, focusing on their ...

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.
