Meiosis in hybrids derived from crosses of Secale ancestrale Zhuk. with related species is highly irregular: chiasmata fail to terminalize; numerous AI and AII bridges form but are usually unaccompanied by fragments; acentric fragments without true bridges are left behind at AI and AII; numerous micronuclei are produced at TII. These anomalies appear to be the result of genetically induced subchromatid exchanges. This appears to be a mechanism established by natural selection for reproductive isolation, thereby permitting this narrowly endemic species to successfully continue in sympatric association with closely related species.
