Objective
The investigation of chromosome pairing and recombination in meiotic and structural chromosomes mutations of rye (secale cereale) is based on the unique genetic collection of mutants available at the participating institutes. Cytological studies of the set of fourteen synaptic and two other meiotic mutations will be carried out using light and electron microscopic analysis of the synaptonemal complex and other meiotic characteristics.
Following specific research will be carried out in the project: the cytological study of the mutant gene expression in meiosis; the genetic analysis of the synaptic mutants; the analysis of double mutants; the identification of the chromosomes involved in new, unknown translocations using the conjugation test with the Wageningen translocation tester set and the analysis of their C-banded karyotypes; and electron microscopic analysis of SC formation in translocation heterozygotes from the St. Petersburg collection.
