Abstract
The premeiotic interphase of rye has been found to exhibit a synchronized fusion of chromocenters. This results in a solid knot of heterochromatin localized to one side of the nucleus. Colchicine injected into the immature inflorescence of diploid rye has been found to induce univalent and multivalent formation at metaphase I. The early premeiotic interphase was the phase of development most sensitive to colchicine. Colchicine was also found to have a similar disruptive effect on fusion of chromocenters in the premeiotic interphase. The relationship of these observations to chromosome pairing is discussed.
