Synaptonemal complex analysis of hybrid cattle. II. Bos indicus × Bos taurus F1 and backcross hybrids
Keyword(s):
The levels of meiotic chromosome pairing abnormalities observed in six Australian F, Bos indicus x Bos taurus cattle crosses (mean = 23%) were significantly higher than those of the full-blood breeds (9%). The abnormal configurations in the F[hybrids included partial pairing failure, multivalents, interlocks, and inversion pairing. Abnormal configurations were also present, but at lower frequency, in backcross hybrid bulls. The main types of abnormal configurations and the levels of XY-autosomal associations and autosomal asynapsis observed were unlikely to cause significant fertility problems in the hybrids.Key words: synaptonemal complex, hybrid cattle, meiosis.
