How to pre-pair chromosomes for meiosis [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2016 Meiosis is a special type of cell division specific to germ cells, whereby diploid germ cells produce haploid gametes for sexual reproduction.

A surge of late-occurring meiotic double-strand breaks rescues synapsis abnormalities in spermatocytes of mice with hypomorphic expression of SPO11 [PDF]
, 2015 Meiosis is the biological process that, after a cycle of DNA replication, halves the cellular chromosome complement, leading to the formation of haploid gametes.

Competition of Parental Genomes in Plant Hybrids
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Interspecific hybridization represents one of the main mechanisms of plant speciation. Merging of two genomes from different subspecies, species, or even genera is frequently accompanied by whole-genome duplication (WGD).

Inducing chromosome pairing through premature condensation: analysis of wheat interspecific hybrids [PDF]
, 2010 At the onset of meiosis, chromosomes first decondense and then condense as the process of recognition and intimate pairing occurs between homologous chromosomes.

HAL-2 promotes homologous pairing during Caenorhabditis elegans meiosis by antagonizing inhibitory effects of synaptonemal complex precursors. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 During meiosis, chromosomes align with their homologous pairing partners and stabilize this alignment through assembly of the synaptonemal complex (SC). Since the SC assembles cooperatively yet is indifferent to homology, pairing and SC assembly must be ...

The KL system in wheat permits homoeologous crossing over between closely related chromosomes
Crop Journal, 2023 The Chinese wheat landrace Kaixianluohanmai (KL) expresses the ph-like phenotype. A major QTL, QPh.sicau-3A (syn. phKL), responsible for this effect has been mapped to chromosome arm 3AL.

Homologue Pairing in Flies and Mammals: Gene Regulation When Two Are Involved [PDF]
, 2012 Chromosome pairing is usually discussed in the context of meiosis. Association of homologues in germ cells enables chromosome segregation and is necessary for fertility.

Investigation of marmoset hybrids (Cebuella pygmaea x Callithrix jacchus) and related Callitrichinae (Platyrrhini) by cross-species chromosome painting and comparative genomic hybridization [PDF]
, 2005 We report on the cytogenetics of twin offspring from an interspecies cross in marmosets (Callitrichinae, Platyrrhini), resulting from a pairing between a female Common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus, 2n = 46) and a male Pygmy marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea, 2n
