Haploid plants, which carry only a single set of chromosomes, are typically sterile, making them valuable but difficult to use in breeding. A rare peach haploid mutant, '9-D', surprisingly exhibited ...

Since the emergence of molecular genetics more than fifty years ago, scientists have tried to isolate haploid mammalian cells, that is, cells with half the number of chromosomes contained in somatic ...

Using a 14C/3H double-labelling technique, the influence of kinetin on the length of the cell cycle of meristematic cells in haploid and diploid callus cultures of Datura innoxia was determined. The ...

Solanum species were cytogenetically analysed to localize species-specific markers. Solanum atropurpureum Schrank, S. dulcamara L., S. gilo Raddi., S. melongena L., S ...

Chromosomes can vary in length and size, but they usually carry thousands of base pairs of DNA. While scientists have successfully edited the genomes of many creatures, most of those edits have been ...
