Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Meiotic chromosome behaviour and fertility of three autotriploid Hyoscyamus muticus plants (3n = 3x = 42) originated from a 4n X 2n cross involving induced autotetraploid and its diploid parent (inbred CIMAP/NP-41) were studied. In autotriploids cells showing 14 III at metaphase I were most frequent. Mean number of trivalente, bivalents and univalents per cell were 12.73%, 1.24% and 1.34%, respectively. On an average about 90% of the chromosomes per cell were involved in trivalent formation. Trivalent association which formed only tandem chain (37.7%), tandem-V (31.0%), frying pan (20.0%) and Y-shaped (11.3%) metaphase I configurations occurred. Lagging chromosomes that mostly divided precociously into their chromatids occurred in 30.1% of the cells at anaphase I. Lagging chromosomes in 34.8% of the cells were also observed at anaphase II. Chromosomal distributions at anaphase II showed that autotriploids produced the complete array of meiotic products from n + 1 through all possible unbalanced types to 2n—1. The low pollen and seed fertility in autotriploids suggested that addition of more than a few chromosomes to the balanced genome might have increased the probability of abortion of gametes. © 1989 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
