Abstract
Contrary to the findings of several workers for the tissues of vertebrates, the nuclei in different tissues of the plant Tradescantia carry different amts. of DNA. This is not attributable to various degrees of polyploidy in this case but may be due to different degrees of polyteny that obtain in the various tissues.Keywords
