✦ Synopsis
Chromosome associations in the interspecific hybrids of Trigonella corniculata, T. hamosa and T. cretica have been studied. T. hamosa differs from T. corniculata and T, cretica by one translocation. No translocation was detected in the hybrid T. corniculata × T. cretica. These species have basically the same genomes.
Material and Methods
Seeds of T. corniculata were obtained from the Horticulture Department of the Punjab Agricultural University and those of T. hamosa and T. cretica from the Plant Introduction Division, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. Crosses were made from 9 a.m. to 1 1 a.m. in the field. The F1 hybrids were grown along with the parents in pots. Young inflorescences were fixed
