Abstract: | The Giemsa banding patterns of the standard karyotype of Vicia faba and of four new karyotypes with easily interdistinguishable chromosomes due to interchanges and inversions are described and compared with the data of other authors on preferential Giemsa staining in Vicia faba. All karyotypes contain 14 easily reproducible marker bands which characterize chromosome segments known to be heterochromatic. It is shown that the preferential Giemsa staining of chromosome regions is a valuable tool for the localization of translocation and inversion points in the chromosomes of the reconstructed Vicia karyotypes. A close correlation exists between banding patterns, segment extension by incorporation into chromosomal DNA of azacytidine and mutagen-specific clustering of induced chromatid aberrations in the new karyotypes. |
