title: [History of modern chromosomal analysis. Differential staining of plant chromosomes].
abstract: Differential staining methods found extensive use in karyotype studies of many plant and animal species and provide for reliable identification of all chromosomes of the organism. Below we describe the most widespread methods and history of their advent. In addition, we discuss specific structure of the chromosomes and possible mechanisms responsible for differential segmentation.
