Abstract

This chapter presents the squash chromosome preparation technique for Fagopyrum esculentum and F. tataricum, using the root tips as the source of the material. Using an optimized version of this method, the chromosomes are free of cytoplasmic debris and are spread evenly on the glass slide. What comes of it is the possibility to make observations of the chromosome number and structure at the metaphase stage. This technique's modified version allows micronuclei analysis in interphase cells of buckwheats.
