Epigenetic histone marks of extended meta-polycentric centromeres of Lathyrus and Pisum chromosomes

Species of the legume genera Lathyrus and Pisum possess chromosomes that exhibit a unique structure of their centromeric regions, which is clearly apparent during metaphase by the formation of extended primary constrictions which span up to a third of the length of the chromosome.
