Triploidy induction in E. sinensis. (a) Photomicrographs of chromosomes of triploid (left, 3n=219) and diploid (right, 2n=146) in E. sinensis, bar=10 μm. (b) Histogram of relative DNA content in triploid (left) and diploid (right) E. sinensis individuals. The higher peaks in each case show the relative DNA contents of triploid (90) and diploid (60), respectively. (c) Schematic flow chart of the production of normal diploids and induced triploids. The egg (ZW) underlined is resulted from the possibility of recombination.
