Abstract

Toranosuke Sugiura (1926) published a study on Meiosis in Tropaeolum majus L in which he found the number of chromo­somes in the pollen mother cells to be 14. In the post­ synaptic phase, there were four aired chromosomes forming long rods. The other univalent ones formed shorter rods of irregular form.
