โฆ Synopsis
The centromere position on the chromosomes of three European stocks of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia (2n = 20) was determined by investigating in root tip mitoses the shape of the chromosomes during congression and polar movement and during C-metaphase. One pair of chromosomes is subtelocentric and 9 pairs are acrocentric. Some chromosomes mimic (sub-)metacentrics by having noncentric constrictions. A recently published (A. Villa; Genetica 64: 145-148, 1984) idiogram of one of the stocks is commented on.

The karyotype of Nicotiana plumbaginifotia (2n = 20) was determined by the analysis of 25 metaphase plates of both haploid and diploid plantlets. The material originated from root tip meristems and leaf protoplasts. Chromosome length ranged from 1.73 to 4.34/am and the total length of the genome was
