| Abstract: | B-chromosomes are reported for the first time for woody angiosperms. Out of six species from the eastern Himalayas in which B-chromosomes were observed, two are polyploid. The number of B-chromosomes varied from 0–5 in the different species. In Sambucus canadensis, Glerodendrum colebrookianum and Neolitsea zeylanica B's were found to pair with each other at Metaphase-I.The financial support for this work was provided by the U. S. Government from PL 480 funds in India (Grant: A7-FS-12). |
