Flower buds of male-sterile and male-fertile potato genotypes were fixed in ethanol-acetic acid solution (3:1 v/v) in room temperature over 24 h. The fixated material was stored in 70% ethanol until analysis. Appropriate-sized anthers were stained by 2% acetoorcein and the squashed slides were prepared. The frequencies (%) of irregularities were studied at different phases of meiosis by light microscopy.
