Abstract
SUMMARYCytophotometric analysis of nuclear DNA and histone content were made in dividing and nondividing root meristems of Triticum durum cv. CAPPELLI. It was demonstrated that the nuclei in the pre-DNA synthesis phase of the nuclear cycle (G1), all having a 2C DNA content, show very different amounts of fast-green stainable histone. The 2C nuclei in nonproliferating meristems of caryopses at 15 days before harvest have a histone content nearly twice that of 2C nuclei in proliferating meristems of germinating caryopses.The possible significance of the quantitative variations in histone contents is discussed.
