N-banding in Triticum aestivum following feulgen hydrolysis

  • Published:
Theoretical and Applied Genetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Terminal and/or interstitial N-bands were produced on the seven B-genome chromosomes and chromosomes 4 and 7 of the A-genome of Triticum aestivum cv. ‘Chinese Spring’ by a modified BSG technique following a standard Feulgen preparation. The banding was accomplished by modifying the barium hydroxide treatment.
