Meiotic Studies on Combinations of Chromosomes With Different Sized Centromeres in Maize

Meiotic Studies on Combinations of Chromosomes With Different Sized Centromeres in Maize

Multiple centromere misdivision derivatives of a translocation between the supernumerary B chromosome and the short arm of chromosome 9 (TB-9Sb) permit investigation of how centromeres of different sizes behave in meiosis in opposition or in competition with each other. In the first analysis, hetero...
