Flow cytometry histogram of the relative nuclear DNA contents of different tissues from eggplant accession IVIA371: cotyledon (blue), hypocotyl (green) and leaf (red). The x-axis represents the proportional fluorescence intensity level to the nuclear DNA quantity. The different polysomatic profiles of the different tissues analyzed can be observed. The peak located at the value 50 correspond to the diploid nuclei in phase G1, the peak located at the value 100 corresponds to the sum of the diploid nuclei in phase G2 and the tetraploid nuclei in phase G1, while the one at the value 200 represents tetraploid nuclei in G2 phase. The y-axis indicates the number of nuclei analyzed
