Using haploid and diploid Datura innoxia Mill, callus cultures and cell suspensions it was shown that meristematic material usually attains the lowest possible C-value of a given ploidy level. Parenchyma material of callus cultures, however, indicates a broad scattering of C-values up to 16 C, which is paralleled by C-value distribution of the free cell fraction in actively dividing cell suspensions. In these suspensions, cell division activity seems to be restricted to small meristem-like clusters.
