Preparing high-quality chromosome spreads from Crocus species for karyotyping and FISH
Abstract Background The saffron-producing Crocus sativus (L.) and its wild relative C. cartwrightianus (Herb.) are key species for understanding genetic evolution in this genus. Molecular-cytogenetic methods, especially fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), are essential for exploring the geneti...
