Abstract
Over 50% of plant species, including major crops, are polyploids. Polyploid species control chromosome pairing at meiosis so that only truly homologous chromosomes, and not related homoeologues, pair and recombine. In tetraploid Brassica napus, allelic variation at a single locus determines whether chromosomes form bivalent pairs (with homologues) or multivalent associations (with homoeologues). It is the aim of this project to genetically map this locus.
