Bread wheat is a hexaploid (AABBDD, 2n=6x=42) containing three related ancestral genomes, each having 7 chromosomes, giving 42 chromosomes in diploid cells. During meiosis true homologues are correctly associated in wild-type wheat, but a degree of association of related chromosomes (homoeologues) occurs in a mutant (ph1b). We show that the centromeres are associated in non-homologous pairs in all floral tissues studied, both in wild-type wheat and the ph1b mutant. The non-homologous centromere associations then become homologous premeiotically in wild-type wheat in both meiocytes and the tapetal cells, but not in the mutant. In wild-type wheat, the homologues are colocalised along their length at this stage, but the telomeres remain distinct. A single telomere cluster (bouquet) is formed in the meiocytes only by the onset of leptotene. The sub-telomeric regions of the homologues associate as the telomere cluster forms. The homologous associations at the telomeres and centromeres are maintained through meiotic prophase, although, during leptotene, the two homologues and also the sister chromatids within each homologue are separate along the rest of their length. As meiosis progresses, first the sister chromatids and then the homologues associate intimately. In wild-type wheat, first the centromere grouping, then the bouquet disperse by the end of zygotene.
