Achira accessions with chromosome number determined
Achira accessions with chromosome number determined
The chromosome number and ploidy level of 20 accessions from the Achira (Canna indica) collection and 9 accessions of related wild species from the CIP genebank were determined in meristematic cells of roots sprouted from stem cuttings using an optical microscope. All accessions of cultivated achira (Canna indica) and 3 wild relative accessions were diploid (2n=2x=18). The other 6 wild relatives accessions were triploids (2n=3x=27).
