A Possible Effect of Heterochromatin on Chromosome Pairing [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1974
Rye chromosomes were selectively stained in the meiosis of triticale by means of heterochromatin banding techniques. Compared to wheat chromosomes, rye chromosomes showed reduced pairing at first meiotic metaphase. Within the rye genome this pairing failure was associated with the presence of large, terminal heterochromatic bands.

Drosophila casein kinase I alpha regulates homolog pairing and genome organization by modulating condensin II subunit Cap-H2 levels.

PLoS Genetics, 2015
The spatial organization of chromosomes within interphase nuclei is important for gene expression and epigenetic inheritance. Although the extent of physical interaction between chromosomes and their degree of compaction varies during development and ...

Transfer of the ph1b Deletion Chromosome 5B From Chinese Spring Wheat Into a Winter Wheat Line and Induction of Chromosome Rearrangements in Wheat-Aegilops biuncialis Hybrids

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Effective utilization of genetic diversity in wild relatives to improve wheat requires recombination between wheat and alien chromosomes. However, this is suppressed by the Pairing homoeologous gene, Ph1, on the long arm of wheat chromosome 5B.

Role of chromosome ends in meiotic stability, recombination and wheat evolution in the context of breeding

BMC Plant Biology
Wheat 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 ...

Finding the Correct Partner: The Meiotic Courtship

Scientifica, 2012
Homologous chromosomes are usually separated at the entrance of meiosis; how they become paired is one of the outstanding mysteries of the meiotic process.

Oligopaint DNA FISH reveals telomere-based meiotic pairing dynamics in the silkworm, Bombyx mori.

PLoS Genetics, 2021
Accurate chromosome segregation during meiosis is essential for reproductive success. Yet, many fundamental aspects of meiosis remain unclear, including the mechanisms regulating homolog pairing across species.

An increasing need for productive and stress resilient Festulolium amphiploids: what can be learnt from the stable genomic composition of Festuca pratensis subsp. apennina (De Not.) Hegi?

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2016
Genome composition of Festuca pratensis subsp. apennina (De Not.) Hegi, a tetraploid fescue species native to the tall forbs communities of south-eastern Europe at altitudes between 1100 and 2200m a.s.l.

HAL-2 promotes homologous pairing during Caenorhabditis elegans meiosis by antagonizing inhibitory effects of synaptonemal complex precursors.

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 ...

Surveillance of cohesin-supported chromosome structure controls meiotic progression

Nature Communications, 2020
Meiosis-specific cohesins and the synaptonemal complex are essential for meiotic chromosome structure and function. Here the authors show that continued surveillance of these chromosome structures controls meiotic progression by regulating CHK-2, a ...

Dynamics of DNA replication during premeiosis and early meiosis in wheat. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Meiosis is a specialised cell division that involves chromosome replication, two rounds of chromosome segregation and results in the formation of the gametes.
