Banding of Allium chromosomes protected against DNase digestion by DNA-binding drugs.
Metaphase chromosome bands were induced in Allium flavum (Liliaceae) by protecting the chromosomal DNA with DNA-binding compounds of different base specificities against DNase digestion. The bands obtained represented different subsets of C-band heterochromatin.
