Abstract
Cytogenetic studies with aneuploid series in wheat usually involve a large number of chromosome counts. The reliability of results and the speed of this work are limited by several factors: (1) method of pretreatment for contraction and spreading of chromosomes, (2) the staining procedure, (3) the method of maceration, and (4) the technique of squashing. These determine the final quality of squash preparations.Keywords
