NUCLEAR DNA CONTENT IN SOME PAPAVERACEOUS PLANTS |
| Authors: | M.L. Colombo, F. Tomè |
| Abstract:
Nuclear DNA content per cell was determined in mature leaves and root tips of Chelidonium majus L. and of Eschscholtzia spp. (Papaveraceae) by means of static cytofluorimetry using 4'–6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) as DNA specific fluorochrome. Ploidy levels were determined in presence of chicken red blood cell as internal standard. The 2C of C.majus is 3.5 pg of DNA / nucleous and the 2C values of Eschscholtzia spp. are 2.3 – 2.5 pg of DNA / nucleous. | |
