"Analysis of meiosis in the flowering plant,
Arabidopsis
thaliana
L. (2
n
=10)
,
is a growing area of research.
Arabidopsis
has a number of positive attributes for meiotic
studies, including a large pool of tagged meiotic mutants
and the molecular tools available to characterize them
(Caryl
et al
., 2003). As cytology and cytogenetics are
central to meiotic studies, this review aims to bring
together existing information on these important aspects of
meiosis in wild-type
Arabidopsis." Notice that this is the 2n value, i.e. counting the sister chromosomes as two separate chromosomes |
