Figure 2From: Polyploidization increases meiotic recombination frequency in ArabidopsisStrict bivalent formation in allotetraploids. Chromosomes of synthetic Arabidopsis suecica at meiotic metaphase I stage were hybridized with species-specific centromeric repeats of Arabidopsis thaliana (red) and Arabidopsis arenosa (green) and show pairing exclusively between homologous chromosomes of the respective genomes.
