▪ Abstract The synaptonemal complex (SC) is a protein lattice that resembles railroad tracks
and connects paired homologous chromosomes in most meiotic systems. The two side rails …

The duplicated Arabidopsis genes ZYP1a/ZYP1b encode closely related proteins with
structural similarity to the synaptonemal complex (SC) transverse filament proteins from …

With respect to history, plants have provided an ideal system for cytogenetical analysis of the
synaptonemal complex (SC). However, until recently, the identification of the genes that …

ZEP1, a transverse filament (TF) protein, is the rice (Oryza sativa) homolog of Arabidopsis
thaliana ZYP1. In the Tos17-insertional zep1 mutants, homologous chromosomes align …

В книге изложены сведения о синаптонемном комплексе (СК)–специфической
структуре мейотических клеток большинства эукариот–и примеры исследования этой …

Meiosis is conserved in all eucaryotic kingdoms, and homologous rows of variability are
revealed for the cytological traits of meiosis. To find the nature of these phenomenons, we …

Background Pairing and synapsis of homologous chromosomes is required for normal
chromosome segregation and the exchange of genetic material via recombination during …

Spermatogenesis is a complex and continuous process of germ-cell differentiation. This
complex process is regulated by many factors, of which gene regulation in spermatogenic …

Spontaneous meiotic mutations of winter rye Secale cereale L.(2n= 14) were revealed in
inbred F2 progenies, which were obtained by self-pollination of F1 hybrids resulting from …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the mechanisms that underlie chromosome
alignment, synapsis, and crossover formation from the much-studied meiotic systems in …
