Abstract
CHROMOSOME 5B of the allohexaploid wheat, Triticum aestivum (2n = 42), carries out a genetic activity that results in the suppression of synapsis at meiosis between homoeologous chromosomes of different genomes1,2. Synapsis, however, still occurs between fully homologous partner chromosomes despite the 5B activity, which therefore narrows the specificity of meiotic chromosome pairing.
