Abstract excerpt
Chiasmata are usually formed in the distal half of cereal chromosomes. Previous studies showed that the crossover-rich region displays a more active role in homologous recognition at early meiosis than crossover-poor regions in the long arm of rye chromosome 1R, but not in the long arm of chromosome 5R. In order to determine what happens in other chromosomes of rye and wheat, we have partitioned, by wheat-rye...
