title: In situ hybridization of plant meiotic and mitotic chromosomes: differences in signal detection.
abstract: The technique of in situ hybridization to both meiotic and mitotic chromosomes of Rumex acetosa is described. Differences in the efficiency of signal detection were observed between the two types of material. The implications of these results for in situ hybridization to other plant species are explored.
