Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation This Coix gigantea cyto-type has aneuploid chromosome numbers of n=6 and 2n=12.
- Observation All six bivalents are homologous and show complete pairing during meiosis.
- Observation The IInd and Vth chromosome pairs show significant similarities in pachytene morphology.
- Observation The Ist and VIth chromosome pairs show terminal knobs.
- Observation The cytological evidence suggests a relationship of this cyto-type with other Coix gigantea cyto-types, but its origin is obscure.
