The duration of meiosis and its stages has been estimated in Hordeum vulgare variety Sultan grown at 20·0 °C with continuous illumination. The results are in good agreement with a previous estimate of the duration of meiosis and some of its stages in barley. The duration in barley does not differ greatly from that predicted from the previously calculated regression of DNA amount on meiotic duration in diploid plant species. As in other cereal species, meiosis is comparatively short.
