He was one of the first cytogenecists to document the pre-meiotic pairing of homologous chromosomes in maize, otherwise referred as somatic pairing (Singh, 2003), and the first to document an instance of meiotic drive, a Mendelian inheritance caused by preferential segregation of certain versions of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Rhoades' also pioneered work in nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions.  Pic: https://www.nap.edu/read/5859/chapter/18
