Protoplasma Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

DNA content by cytophotometric analysis has been investigated in mature tissues ofLilium longiflorum plants.

Cytophotometric measurements have revealed that many differentiated tissues of stem, root, leaf, scales and flower parts are in the diploid conditions.
