Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Heat treatments at 42, 43 and 44 °C for 20 min induced chromosome doubling in 2% of wheat plants.
- Observation Alternating temperatures of 36 and 109 °F induced chromosome doubling in one F1 plant of Kharkov x A. glaucum.
- Observation The resulting 84-chromosome wheat hybrid plant grew slowly and failed to produce any spikes.
- Observation A number of 42-chromosome plants of the same cross also failed to produce spikes.
- Observation Chromosome doubling by temperature treatments can be induced in Triticum x A. glaucum hybrids only with great difficulty.
