Abstract:Background: Chromosome count is the only direct way to determine the number of chromosome of a species. This study is often considered trivial that seldom described and discussed in detail. Therefore, it is evitable that chromosome count protocol should be revised and revisited before it becomes obliterated. Our chromosome counts in N. cadamba root tips have encountered challenges that prevent us from obtaining clear micrograph with the correct chromosome number. Several obstacles were determined through micro… Show more
“…The staining process was carried out at room temperature. Feulgen stain was applied on the root tips for 30 min in dark condition before squashing with a metal bar in a drop of aceto-orcein 1% stain followed by thumb squash (Eng et al, 2020).…”
