Abstract: A high-yield method for preparation of suspensionsof intact Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst] chromosomes was developed for the first time. To accumulate meristem root tip cells at metaphase, actively growing roots were subjected to subsequent treatments with 0.625 mM hydroxyurea for 18 h and after 8 h recovery in distilled water with 0.05
