Mode of bivalent formation in desynaptic mutants of chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)

Abstract

Frequencies of pollen mother cells with different numbers of bivalents significantly deviated from that expected with a binomial distribution in Capsicum annuum desynaptic mutants controlled by a recessive gene. This pattern varied in F2 segregants.Key words: Capsicum, chili pepper, desynaptics, bivalent distribution.
