Abstract excerpt
A clear influence of ploidy was observed on the frequency of both spontaneous and nitroso-methylurea (NMU) induced, streptomycin-resistant, adventitious shoots developing on leaf explants of Nicotiana tabacum and N. plumbaginifolia. At nearly all NMU levels employed a significantly higher yield of resistant shoots was obtained from haploid compared with diploid leaf strips. At 1 mM NMU the differences were not...
