The synaptonemal complex and the spindle plaque during meiosis in yeast

The synaptonemal complex and the spindle plaque during meiosis in yeast

D Zickler et al. Chromosoma. 1975.

Abstract

Meiosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae proceeds principally in the same manner as in other Ascomycetes. Leptotene is characterized by unpaired lateral components and pachytene by the presence of extensive synaptonemal complexes. The synaptonemal complex has the same dimensions and is similar in structure to those described for other organisms. Chromosome counts can now be made by reconstructing the synaptonemal complexes. Diplotene nuclei consistently contain a single polycomplex. The behaviour, doubling and the fine structure of the spindle plaque provide additional markers for the different stages of meiosis.
