Determination of ploidy levels in sugar beet plants v. morphological characters as a tool of ploidy level determination in sugar beet plants [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Determination of ploidy levels is a common practice in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) breeding and seed production. Many investigators have used deferent methods for ploidy determination in sugar beet. These methods include measurements of leaf stomatal size (length and diameter), stomatal density, chloroplast number in stomatal guard cells, pollen size and somatic chromosome counting. All these methods were conducted among a diploid population, and its equivalent triploid and tetraploidpopulation.
