Cytological techniques to analyze meiosis in Arabidopsis arenosa for investigating adaptation to polyploidy

Arabidopsis arenosa is a close relative of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, and exists in nature as stable diploid and autotetraploid populations. Natural tetraploids have adapted to whole genome duplication and do not commonly show meiotic errors such as multivalent and univalent formation, wh...
