Abstract excerpt
During early meiosis, chromosomes pair via their telomeres and centromeres. This pairing induces a conformational change which propagates from these regions along each chromosome, making the chromatin of the partners accessible for intimate pairing. In the present study, we show by exploiting wheat-rye hybrids that the signal is initiated in both the presence and absence of either the Ph1 or Ph2 locus. However,...
