Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Bolivian maize B chromosome frequencies ranged from 16.6 to 81.8 and rose with altitude.
- Observation B chromosomes numbered from 1 to 5 in Bolivian populations.
- Observation The 2C values of 0B individuals ranged from 4.73 to 7.71 pg.
- Association 0B individuals had more and larger heterochromatic knobs than individuals with higher B chromosome doses.
- Association Knobs became fewer and smaller with increasing altitude.
- Association Knob heterochromatin and B chromosomes showed a negative association.
