Abstract:SUMMARY -Feulgen-DNA cytophotometry has been used to analyze matings between compatible haploid and polyploid myxamoebae of the plasmodial slime mould Didymium iridis. The polyploid myxamoebae used in this investigation included both a naturally occurring isolate and three isolates which had been induced to become polyploids by treating the parental haploid isolates with the mitotic inhibitor isopropyl N-(3-chlorophenyl) carbamate (CIPC). Regardless of the source of the polyploid parent, the maximum frequency … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
