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.

MNM and SNM maintain but do not establish achiasmate homolog conjunction during Drosophila male meiosis.

PLoS Genetics, 2019
The first meiotic division reduces genome ploidy. This requires pairing of homologous chromosomes into bivalents that can be bi-oriented within the spindle during prometaphase I.

Identification of 5P Chromosomes in Wheat-Agropyron cristatum Addition Line and Analysis of Its Effect on Homologous Pairing of Wheat Chromosomes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
As an important wheat wild relative, the P genome of Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn. (2n = 4x = 28) is very valuable for wheat improvement. A complete set of wheat-A.

Agent-based modeling of nuclear chromosome ensembles identifies determinants of homolog pairing during meiosis.

PLoS Computational Biology
During meiosis, pairing of homologous chromosomes (homologs) ensures the formation of haploid gametes from diploid precursor cells, a prerequisite for sexual reproduction.

CYTOGENETICS OF CHROMOSOME PAIRING IN WHEAT [PDF]

Genetics, 1974
ABSTRACT Meiotic chromosome pairing in Triticum aestivum is controlled by genetic systems promoting and reducing pairing. The pairing of homoeologous chromosomes is prevented principally by the activity of a single locus (Ph) distally located on the long arm of chromosome 5B.

Multiple opposing constraints govern chromosome interactions during meiosis.

PLoS Genetics, 2013
Homolog pairing and crossing over during meiosis I prophase is required for accurate chromosome segregation to form euploid gametes. The repair of Spo11-induced double-strand breaks (DSB) using a homologous chromosome template is a major driver of ...

Cryptic homoeology analysis in species and hybrids of genus Zea

Biologia Plantarum, 2013
Cryptic intergenomic pairing of genus Zea was induced by the use of a diluted colchicine solution in order to elucidate the phylogenetic relations and differentiation of the homoeologous genomes. Results indicate that in species and hybrids with 2n = 20,

Chromosome 5P of Agropyron cristatum induces chromosomal translocation by disturbing homologous chromosome pairing in a common wheat background

Crop Journal, 2023
Wide hybridization is a strategy for broadening the genetic basis of wheat. Because an efficient method for inducing wheat–alien chromosome translocations will allow producing useful germplasm, it is desirable to discover new genes that induce ...

Meiotic Nuclear Oscillations Are Necessary to Avoid Excessive Chromosome Associations

Cell Reports, 2016
Pairing of homologous chromosomes is a crucial step in meiosis, which in fission yeast depends on nuclear oscillations. However, how nuclear oscillations help pairing is unknown.

Homoeologous Chromosomes From Two Hordeum Species Can Recognize and Associate During Meiosis in Wheat in the Presence of the Ph1 Locus

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Understanding the system of a basic eukaryotic cellular mechanism like meiosis is of fundamental importance in plant biology. Moreover, it is also of great strategic interest in plant breeding since unzipping the mechanism of chromosome specificity ...
