Biochemistry of meiosis

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1977
Abstract The process of meiosis in Lilium falls into four physiological stages - prezygotene, zygotene, pachytene, and post-pachytene. Each of these stages has distinctive metabolic characteristics. Commitment to meiosis occurs during the prezygotene interval at about the time when S-phase replication is completed.

The first meiosis of resynthesized Brassica napus, a genome blender [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2010
Polyploidy promotes the restructuring of merged genomes within initial generations of resynthesized Brassica napus, possibly caused by homoeologous recombination at meiosis.

Histones of meiosis

Experimental Cell Research, 1967
Abstract The meiotic cells in the anthers of lily and tulip contain a unique histone which is absent or nearly so, from the somatic tissues of these plants. This histone, termed the meiotic histone, is synthesized during the premeiotic histone synthesis, persists through meiosis, microsporogenesis, and pollen maturation.

Meiosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Meiosis is the key process underlying sexual reproduction in eukaryotes, occurring in single-celled eukaryotes and in most multicellular eukaryotes including animals and most plants.

Meiosis in perspective

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1977
Abstract Our understanding of meiosis springs from two suggestions made by Weismann in 1887. One was that meiosis would be found to compensate for fertilization in the life cycles of both sexes and all organisms. The other was that the development of sexual reproduction in evolution depended on the value of meiosis in exposing the ...

The evolution of meiosis

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1992
Meiosis is too complex to have arisen at once full blown and a stepwise scheme is proposed for its evolution, where each step is believed to have provided an immediate selective advantage: (1) The first step in this tentative sequence is the development of a haploidization process by means of a rapid series of mitotic non-disjunctions, turned on under ...

Recombination and meiosis

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1977
Abstract Although exchanges between sister chromatids are common in mitotic cells, those involving homologous chromosomes are rare. Since recombination between homologues is one of the functions of meiosis, it follows that one aspect of the differentiation of the meiocyte involves the synthesis of proteins or enzymes which facilitate ...
