Ulluco accessions with chromosome number determined
Ulluco accessions with chromosome number determined
The chromosome number and ploidy level of 355 accessions from the Ulluco (Ullucus tuberosus) collection of the CIP genebank were determined in meristematic cells of roots sprouted from stem cuttings using an optical microscope. The 11 evaluated accessions of the aborineus subspecies (wild form) were triploid (2n=3x=36), while in the 344 accessions of the tuberosus subspecies (cultivated form) the following were found: 327 diploid (2n=2x=24), 16 triploid (2n=3x=36) and 1 tetraploid (2n=4x=48).
