Mashua accessions with chromosome number determined
Mashua accessions with chromosome number determined
The chromosome number and ploidy level of 19 accessions from the Mashua (Tropaeolum tuberosum) collection of the CIP genebank were determined in meristematic cells of roots sprouted from stem cuttings using an optical microscope. The 19 mashua accessions evaluated were tetraploid (2n=4x=48). The CIP mashua collection will continue to be evaluated and the existence of accessions with other ploidy levels is not ruled out.
