Abstract

For hexaploid wheat to be highly fertile, only true homologues must pair at meiosis, rather than the highly related chromosomes present. The mechanism, which restricts this pairing, must have arisen rapidly on wheat’s polyploidisation, to ensure stability and fertility. From the analysis of Ph1 , which is the major locus restricts this pairing, tweaking Cdk-type phosphorylation levels is one way to pro- vide such a control.
