The
synaptonemal complex is a unique meiosis specific structure which is critical for chiasma (locations of crossover) formation, homologous chromosome binding, and chromosome segregation [54].
Chiasma localization, heterochromatin and
synaptonemal complexes in the grasshopper Pyrgomorpha conica.
The
synaptonemal complex, which normally would support the synapsis of homologs by creating a sticky bond along their entire length, failed to form.
This study was undertaken with an aim to define criteria of normality for meiosis by assessing the frequency of meiotic prophase cell types, the frequency of pachytene substages in normal and abnormal spermatogenesis and to determine what
synaptonemal complex (SC) abnormalities are found in normal and abnormal meiotic prophase and their frequencies.
Products of the genes HOP1, required for
synaptonemal complex formation and recombination, and ZIP1, essential for synapsis, have been localized to meiotic chromosomes and as a part of the central component of the
synaptonemal complex, respectively (Hollingsworth et al., 1990; Sym et al., 1993).
Synaptonemal complex data were not collected from this animal, and thus, no definitive statement can be made regarding the early meiotic behavior of this chromosomal combination.
The
synaptonemal complex is essential during synapsis (Yang and Wang, 2009).
