%0 Journal Article %T ULTRASTRUCTURAL STUDY OF SYNAPTONEMAL COMPLEX IN MEIOCYTES OF DATURA INNOXIA %A MUHAMMAD ASHRAF %A ABDUL SAMAD MUMTAZ %A MIR AJAB KHAN %J Pakistan Journal of Botany %D 2008 %I University of Karachi %X At the ultrastructural level Synaptonemal Complexes were studied in Datura innoxia, a polyploid. The attachment of the chromosome ends with the nuclear membrane is documented. In addition, our study has revealed the general features of synaptonemal complexes associated with centromeres (CM) and recombination nodules (RNs). The present paper also describes first time a close relationship between nucleolus and chromosomes. %U http://www.pakbs.org/pjbot/abstracts/40(4)/50.html
