Özet

Mitotic chromosomes of 8 Turkish cultivars of Vicia saliva L. were subjected to karyotype analysis using squash method. They were analysed cytologically by conventional feulgen staining to identify variation in the morphology of indvidual chromosomes and relationship between them. The results showed that the chromosome numbers of Vicia saliva L with 2n=12 were metacentric with submedian orientation. Karyotypes of the studied cultivars had small variations and divergence in positions of short and long arms, which showed that they have considerable potential for use in breeding programmes.
