✦ Synopsis


The C-banded karyotypes of six Allium cepa cultivars, including five dry onions and one shallot, were investigated . Chromosome length and banding patterns were statistically analysed . The value of C-banding for distinguishing these Allium cepa cultivars was tested by the application of a discriminant analysis . It appeared that chromosomal differences between cultivars exist, but are too small to be clearly demonstrated with moderate efforts . Large variation within plants and between plants within cultivars, presumably for the greater part caused by the applied method, obscured the variation between the cultivars .

Two parrot species, Amazona amazonica and A. aestiva, submitted to cytogenetic analysis presented a diploid chromosome number of 2n-70 (20M + 50m). With the C-banding pattern, the cells of female specimens showed an almost totally heterochromatic W chromosome. No chromosome differences were observed
