Observation of Pollen Mother Cell Meiosis in Dianthus chinensis L.
石竹花粉母细胞减数分裂的观察

The meiotic process of pollen mother cells in Dianthus chinensis L. was observed by traditional squash method. The results showed that abnormal phenomena, such as bivalent separated in advance, chromosomes scattered outside equatorial plate, lagging chromosomes and chromosome uneven separation, occurred in the process of meiosis. The meiotic process of D. chinensis was generally normal due to abnormality rate at different development stages below 3%. The chromosome number of D. chinensis was 2n=2x=30.
