C-banding in maize. II. Identification of somatic chromosomes

A biometrical analysis of C-banded and Feulgen stained somatic metaphases of maize stocks with different knob constitutions has shown that large bands alter arm lengths of mitotic chromosomes. A representative diagram of the knobless maize somatic karyotype and of a high knobbed stock are presented.
