Some nucleoli budded during synizesis, reaching equal size at early diakinesis.
- Taxon
- Rice
Oryza sativat0 - Outcome
- During synizesis the nucleolus in some of the nuclei of the varieties studied produces a bud, which grows until the two nucleoli attain the Same size at early diakinesis by transfer of material from the larger to the smaller.e0

Other claims from this paper (17)
- Observation Seven rice varieties had 12 haploid and 24 diploid chromosomes.
- Observation Satellites and secondary constrictions were absent from the rice chromosomes.
- Observation A chromosome pair with terminal knobs remained attached to nucleoli in somatic prophase.
- Observation Resting pollen mother-cell nuclei generally had one nucleolus without crystalline bodies.
- Observation The leptotene thread was split into two closely twisted chromonemata.
- Observation Nucleoli stayed connected to a chromosome pair from leptotene until metaphase.
- Observation Six rice varieties did not differ in nuclear and nucleolar size.
- Observation Nuclear diameter differed significantly between diakinesis cells with one and two nucleoli.
- Observation Only larger nucleoli budded after reaching maximum size.
- Observation Nucleolar budding occurred at the terminal chromosome knob attachment.
- Observation Chromosome pairing was parasynaptic and began at chromosome ends.
- Observation The twelve bivalents varied in size and shape in early diakinesis.
- Observation Nucleolus size increased to early diakinesis and then declined until metaphase.
- Observation Trivalent and univalent chromosomes occurred in some Japanese varieties.
- Observation Cytomyxis, cell fusion, binucleate and tetraploid pollen mother cells, and failed cytokinesis occurred.
- Observation These meiotic aberrations produced diploid gametes.
- Observation The authors concluded that nucleolar matrix substance contributes to chromosomes and reorganizes a nucleolus at telophase.
