Chromosome Polymorphism and Bivalent-forming Triploid and Tetraploid Tradescantia pallida (Commelinaceae).

open access: yesCYTOLOGIA, 1998
Karyotypes and meiotic chromosome pairing were studied in natural autotriploid and autotetraploid Tradescantia pallida. At both ploidy levels chromosomes appeared as metacentrics, being larger at the triploid than at the tetraploidy level (9.6-15.3 μm and 7.5-10.0 μm, respectively).T. pallida exhibits polymorphism with respect to number and position of

Tradescantia pallida Leaf Extract as a pH Sensitive Chemical Indicator

open access: yes
Anthocyanins are water-soluble natural pigments with good anti-oxidant and antibacterial properties, and their colours are pH-sensitive to the environment. At present, the use of plant anthocyanins as indicators and smart packaging film has attracted increasing attention in the field of food engineering.
