“…In pea, prior to metaphase I, chromosomes are highly deformed and shapeless (Gottschalk 1968, Blixt 1972and muller, 1976 and thus chiasma is difficult to score. Further, usual method of scoring chiasma at Metaphase I resolved only a part of the chiasmata actually formed and also did not permit partitioning of total chiasmata into proximal (P) and distal (D).…”
Chiasma formation plays an important role in the process of recombination leading to the production of diverse types of gametes. In diploids, the nature and frequency of chiasma formation have been resolved in a variety of crop plants (Darlington

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
