CLUSTERING OF SPECIFIC CROSSOVERS IN MAIZE MICROSPOROCYTES
Marjorie P. Maguire 1
1 Zoology Department, University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78712
Analysis of systematic scan data from microsporocyte smear preparations suggests that cells with a crossover in a specific region tend to be geographically clustered to some extent within anthers. Crossover classes observed include single crossovers within a heterozygous inversion, three-strand double crossovers within and proximal to the inversion, and four-strand double crossovers within the inversion. Evidence for clustering within scans of cells of the first two classes is reported, but results are inconclusive for the third class. No evidence for within-scan correlation of frequencies of any two of the crossover classes was found. It is inferred that a large part of the variability in crossover frequency observed is probably due to factors which alter crossover interference. Implications related to the frequency and distribution of crossover sites are discussed.
