Synaptonemal complex and recombination nodules in wild-type Drosophila melanogaster females.

Abstract:

:Electron microscope serial section reconstruction analysis of all zygotene-pachytene nuclei of meiotic cells from three wild-type germaria (a subunit of the ovary containing the early meiotic stages arrayed in temporal developmental sequence) of Drosophila melanogaster females corroborates and extends earlier observations (Carpenter 1975a) on the nature and sequence of ultrastructural events occurring during the time of meiotic recombination. Emphasis has been placed on (1) the time of appearance and disappearance of the synaptonemal complex (SC) and the changes in its dimensions that accompany a cell's progression through pachytene, and (2) the appearance, disappearance, number and chromosomal locations of recombination nodules (Carpenter 1975b). For both the SC and the recombination nodule the availability of several developmental series has provided an estimate of the biological variability in the properties of these recombination-associated structures. The much more extensive data presented here substantiate the earlier hypothesis that recombination nodules occur at sites where reciprocal meiotic recombination will occur, has occurred, or is occurring. A second morphological type of recombination nodule is reported; it is suggested that the presence of the latter type of nodule may correlate with sites of gene conversion. The hypothesis that there may be two types of meiotic recombination processes is discussed.
