ABSTRACT
A large number of maize genotypes are currently being evaluated to determine the effect of environmental stress caused by the aluminum found in cerrado soils on meiotic behavior. In the present study we report the occurrence of cell fusion followed or not by chromatin degeneration in meiocytes of some plants of an inbred line of maize grown on acid and corrected soil in the Brazilian central plateau. The results suggest the absence of any soil effect on the irregularities observed since the number of affected plants was higher among those grown on corrected soil. The possible causes of these irregularities and their influence on male sterility are discussed.
