Topics discussed include the handling of plant chromosomes, meiosis and its genetic control, a standard and universally accepted nomenclature for plant chromosomes, genome analysis and the chromosome pairing approach employed in biosystematic studies, the cytogenetic basis of somaclonal variation generated through cell and tissue cultures, and gene-chromosome-linkage group relationships.
