The triploidRhoeo spatacea(X=6) exhibited random distribution of the chromosomes at anaphase I, and the number of chromosomes in the gametes will range from monoploid to diploid, i.e. from 6 to 12. Among 89 pollen mother cells (PMC) without laggards, 4 (4,49%) had 6–12 distribution, 11 (12,36%) had 7–11, 44 (49.44%) ah 8–10 distribution which was most frequently observed, and 30 (33.71%) had 9–9 distribution.
