Formation of the synaptonemal complex in a gynogenetic allodiploid hybrid fish.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The correct pairing and separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is crucial to ensure both genetic stability and genetic diversity within species. In allodiploid organisms, synapsis often fails, leading to sterility. However, a gynogenetic allodiploid hybrid clone line (GDH), derived by crossing red crucian carp (Carassius auratus ♀) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio ♂), stably produces diploid eggs. Because the GDH line carries 100 chromosomes with 50 chromosomes from the red crucian carp (RCC; ♀, 2n = 2x = 100) and 50 chromosomes from the common carp (CC; C. carpio L., ♂, 2n = 2x = 100), it is interesting to study the mechanisms of homologous chromosome pairing during meiosis in GDH individuals. Methods: By using fluorescence
