Original article Paracentric inversion involving NOR of chromosome 8 in a boar : studies of synaptonemal complexes under a light microscope M jadnr;witojadnr;ski Academy of Agriculture, Department of Genetics and Animal Breeding, Wolynska, 33, Pl-60-637 Poland Poznan, (Received 13 June 1990; accepted 28 January 1991) Summary - In the karyotype of a boar used in artificial insemination a paracentric inversion : inv(8)(pll, pl2), involving approximately 8% of the chromosome length, was identified. The inversion split the nucleolar organizer region (NOR) into 2 segments. .-!n analysis of synaptonemal complexes carried out under a light microscope revealed that in a majority of primary spermatocytes (87.2%) heterosynaptic straight pairing in pair No 8 occurred. In the remaining cells delayed pairing was found in this pair. The loop formation was not identified in any of the studied spermatocytes. In addition, no nonspecific associations between sex bivalent and autosomal bivalents were found. Consequences of the observed pairing behavior on fertility are discussed. swine/ chromosomal aberration/ inversion/ synaptonemal complex Résumé - Inversion paracentrique impliquant l’organisateur nucléolaire du chromo- some 8 chez un verrat; étude des complexes synaptonémiques au microscope optique.
