Abstract: | Frequency and position of chiasmata at diplotene were studied in pollen mother cells and megaspore mother cells of the same plants of two wild Allium species (A. consanquineum and A. kachrooi) and two cultivated species (a. cepa and A. nigrum), all diploid with 2n=16. Contrary to most reports on sex differences in recombination, chiasma frequencies were higher in male than in female meiosis in all cases. Chiasmata were non-localised except in A. kachrooi megaspore mother cells where they were proximally localised. |
