Homologous chromosome pairing in wheat
Journal of Cell Science, 1999ABSTRACT Bread wheat is a hexaploid (AABBDD, 2n=6x=42) containing three related ancestral genomes, each having 7 chromosomes, giving 42 chromosomes in diploid cells. During meiosis true homologues are correctly associated in wild-type wheat, but a degree of association of related chromosomes (homoeologues) occurs in a mutant (ph1b).

To pair or not to pair: chromosome pairing and evolution
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 1998Chromosome pairing in wild-type wheat closely resembles the process in both yeast and Drosophila. The recent characterisation of a mutant Ph1 wheat and the observation that chromosome pairing in the absence of Ph1 more closely resembles that of mammals and maize has shed light on the evolution of chromosome pairing in the cereals.

Pairing at the chromosomal level
Journal of Cellular Physiology, 1967The discovery of the phenomenon of nonhomologous pairing in the female of Drosophila melanogaster provided a genetic tool for analyzing chromosome behavior, which has made it possible to establish a temporal order of meiotic events that includes two types of pairing, one preceding exchange (exchange pairing) and one following exchange (distributive ...

Joint Classification and Pairing of Human Chromosomes
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, 2005We reexamine the problems of computer-aided classification and pairing of human chromosomes, and propose to jointly optimize the solutions of these two related problems. The combined problem is formulated into one of optimal three-dimensional assignment with an objective function of maximum likelihood. This formulation poses two technical challenges: 1)

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1977
Abstract Commonly accepted precepts are challenged : (1) that homologous chromosome pairing is normally mediated by nuclear envelope attachment sites; (2) that crossover site establishment awaits synaptic completion; and (3) that it is the function of the synaptonemal complex to hold homologues in register so that equal crossing over ...

A cytophotometric study of chromosome pairing
Chromosoma, 19561. Confirming earlier studies (Schrader 1945a and b), the chromosomes of the harlequin lobe of the testis of the pentatomid Loxa flavicolis are found to be asynaptic throughout late meiotic prophase and to divide equationally at metaphase I. All other lobes show a normal meiosis. 2.

Chromosome Duplication and Pairing
1965The early cytologists came to the conclusion that in a majority of organisms the leptotene chromosomes were single and that this singleness persisted at least until pachytene. This, in turn, led to the idea that chromosome duplication occurred during pachytene and not, as in mitotic tissues, during interphase.

The meiotic pairing of nine wheat chromosomes
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1984The meiotic identification of nine pairs of chromosomes at metaphase I of meiosis of Triticum aestivum (B genome, 4A and 7A) has been achieved using a Giemsa C-banding technique. As a result, the analysis of the pairing of each chromosome arm in disomic and monosomic intervarietal hybrids between 'Chinese Spring' and the Spanish cultivar 'Pané 247 ...

Mechanism of Chromosome Pairing during Meiosis
Nature, 1970Electron microscopy with whole mount preparations has revealed that the synaptonemal complex merely pulls two homologous chromosomes together. Intimate molecular pairing is another matter—probably brought about by connexions between short stretches of single stranded DNA.

Chromosome Pairing: Effect of Colchicine on an Isochromosome
Science, 1970Two separable stages in the process of chromosome pairing have been demonstrated. The first results in a close spatial relationship of homologs, and the second results in synapsis and formation of chiasmata. Colchicine reduces chiasma formation in conventional bivalents but not in an isochromosome.
