Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Some microsporocytes in variable sterile plants lack cytokinesis during meiosis.
- Observation Failure of cytoplasmic division often accompanies aberrant chromosome behavior.
- Observation Most resulting 2n and 4n cells degenerate.
- Observation Variable sterile plants mostly produce diploid progeny.
- Observation The va gene maps roughly 10 units left of gl1 on Bn-gl1-v5-ra chromosomes.
