During a cytotaxonomical study of a Kuwaiti diploid (2n = 26) population of Diplotaxis harra (Forssk.) Boiss (Brassicaceae), cytomixis and aneuploidy were found in 1.5% and 7.8% of the pollen mother cells (PMCs), respectively. Cytomictic cells revealed wide variability as far as the number of involved PMCs and their stage of division were concerned. The cytoplasmic channels, which were of different sizes, contained migrating chromosomes in a few cases. In some PMCs, the location of some of the chromosomes was clearly indicative of an imminent migration from a donor to its attached recipient cell. At metaphase I and anaphase I, PMCs showed variable degree of chromosomal transfer. In addition to a genetic control of the phenomenon, stress factors such as high temperature or drought in certain periods of the growing season may have contributed to the incidence of cytomixis in the material. A possible relationship between cytomixis and detected aneuploid PMCs, as well as a reconsideration of an evolutionary role of cytomixis is discussed. (C) 2003 The Linnean Society of London.
