Abstract
C-value determinations on nuclei of the adaxial epidermal bulliform ce lls of leaves of perennial (Lolium perenne) and Italian ryegrass (Loli um multiflorum) show considerable levels of endopolyploidy. L. multifl orum has more endopolyploidy than L. perenne, and there is an environm ental effect which reduces the level of endopolyploidy in L. multiflor um as the temperature is raised.
