Synaptinemal Complexes (Cores) in Primary Spermatocytes of Mouse under Elevated Temperature

Nature volume 190, pages 467–468 (1961)Cite this article

Abstract

WE have observed in the electron microscope and determined statistically the synaptinemal complexes or cores in primary spermatocytes of male mice, C57 B1, exposed to an environment of 34.5° C. and 60 per cent humidity. To avoid confusion from the presence of two generations of spermatocytes in the same section we have evaluated only stages I–VI of the spermatogenic cycle.
