| Abstract: | Jackson , R. C. (U. Kansas, Lawrence.) A study of meiosis Haplopappus gracilis (Compositae). Amer. Jour. Bot. 46(7): 550–554. Illus. 1959.—A study of meiosis in the two-paired Haplopappus gracilis has shown that each pair of chromosomes is easily recognized throughout the various stages of meiosis beginning with pachytene. A comparison of mitotic and meiotic chromosomes has been made, and the data indicate that a conspicuous heteropycnotic knob on chromosome B at pachytene is the nucleolar organizer. Other recognizable chromomeres were observed, but additional study is needed before a cytological map can be drawn to show whether regions other than those described on chromosome A and B may be used as markers. |
