Özet

Seven cultivar varieties of Vicia sativa L. were used. Nucleotypic effects of telophase (2C) nuclear DNA amounts on seed weight, percent mitotic index, stomatal frequency/mm2, chlorophyll a and b content, root growth and shoot growth were determined. No correlation was observed between the DNA contents and the percent mitotic index, chlorophyll a and b content, or root growth of the cultivar varieties. However a significant correlation was observed between DNA content and the seed weight, stomatal frequency and shoot growth of the cultivar varieties.

Abstract

Seven cultivar varieties of Vicia sativa L. were used. Nucleotypic effects of telophase (2C) nuclear DNA amounts on seed weight, percent mitotic index, stomatal frequency/mm2, chlorophyll a and b content, root growth and shoot growth were determined. No correlation was observed between the DNA contents and the percent mitotic index, chlorophyll a and b content, or root growth of the cultivar varieties. However a significant correlation was observed between DNA content and the seed weight, stomatal frequency and shoot growth of the cultivar varieties.
