hypohaploid meaning: definition, etymology and quotations

hypohaploid

adj

Etymology From hypo- + haploid.

Having less than the haploid complement of chromosomes.

DNA was extracted from different morphological types of hypohaploid Nicotiana plumbaginifolia plants. The cellular levels of chloroplast DNA (expressed as percent of total DNA) were found to be approximately two- to threefold higher in two albino hypohaploids than in a green hypohaploid. The level of chloroplast DNA in the green hypohaploid was not significantly different from either in vitro or in vivo grown haploid N. plumbaginifolia plants.1989, Cannon GC, Van KT, Heinhorst S, Trinh TH, Weissbach A, “An examination of the plastid DNA of hypohaploid Nicotiana plumbaginifolia plants”, in Plant Physiology, volume 90, number 2, →DOI, →PMID, →PMCID, pages 390–393:
