“…Originally reported to occur between microsporocytes (KOrnicke 1901, Gates 1911), cytomixis was later found to occur also between somatic cells (Jacob 1941, Sarvella 1958, Bowes 1973) and between tapetum cells and microsporocytes (Cooper 1952). In B. napus and B. campestris, chromosome transfer only occurred between microsporocytes.…”

“…Generally, cytomixis was found to exhibit a high degree of variability in its important aspects. Its occurrence is not restricted to meiotic cells but has been observed between mitotic cells (Sarvella, 1958; Bowes, 1973) and even between meiotic and mitotic cells (Cooper, 1952). In addition, cytomixis is not limited to certain meiotic phases, but can occur in all stages (de Souza & Pagliarini, 1997; Pierozzi & Benatti, 1998).…”

During a cytotaxonomical study of a Kuwaiti diploid (2n = 26) population of Diplotaxis harra (Forssk.) Boiss (Brassicaceae), cytomixis and aneuploidy were found in 1.5% and 7.8% of the pollen mother cells (PMCs), respectively. Cytomictic cells revealed wide variability as far as the number of involved PMCs and their stage of division were concerned. The cytoplasmic channels, which were of different sizes, contained migrating chromosomes in a few cases. In some PMCs, the location of some of the chromosomes was clearly indicative of an imminent migration from a donor to its attached recipient cell. At metaphase I and anaphase I, PMCs showed variable degree of chromosomal transfer. In addition to a genetic control of the phenomenon, stress factors such as high temperature or drought in certain periods of the growing season may have contributed to the incidence of cytomixis in the material. A possible relationship between cytomixis and detected aneuploid PMCs, as well as a reconsideration of an evolutionary role of cytomixis is discussed.
