Estimation of the nuclear DNA content in some representative of genus Dioscorea
Nuclear DNA content of 54 accessions of 6 Dioscorea species collected from West African countries were determined using flow cytometry. Observed ploidy levels are diploid (2x), triploid (3x), tetraploid (4x), hexaploid (6x) and octoploid (8x). DNA index varied from 0.36 to 1.54 depending on the cult...
