F.  aMitotic behavior in root tips in Brachiaria genotypes with meiotic chromosome elimination during microsporogenesis.h[electronic resource]  c2008  aThree accessions of Brachiaria brizantha, three of B. humidicola, and two interspecific hybrids between B. ruziziensis and B. brizantha were analyzed with regard to their mitotic behavior in root tips. All these genotypes revealed chromosome elimination or lack of chromosome affinity in previous analyses of microsporogenesis. Analyses of root tips showed a normal mitotic division in all accessions and hybrids, reinforcing the notion that the genetic control of meiosis is totally independent of that of mitosis. The implications of these findings for the Brachiaria breeding program are discussed.  aBrazil  aCrops  aCytogenetics  aPlant breeding  aBrachiaria  aCitogenética vegetal  aGramínea forrageira  aMelhoramento genético vegetal  aPlanta Forrageira  aBraquiária  aBrasil  aCampo Grande  aFeed crops  aFeed grasses  aMato Grosso do Sul1 aSILVA, N.1 aPAGLIARINI, M.
