โฆ Synopsis
Chromosome number in the cells of the first division cycle in the root tip of Hordeum vulgare (2n~ 14) was apparently reduced from 2n to n by the ehloramphenicol (CAP) treatments in early S, S late and/or early G 2 stages. Morphological observations and measurements of relative D:NA content per cell indicated that such reduction was due to tight alignment of chromosomes in pairs. --It was supposed that homologous chromosomes are close together in the interphase nucleus, and their successive association up to mitotic prometaphase was induced by the CAP treatment.
