Giemsa C-banded Karyotypes and Their Relationship of Four Diploid Taxa in Allium

Allium속 이배체 4종의 C-분염 핵형 및 유연관계

Giemsa C-banded karyotypes of A. thunbergii, A. deltoide-fistulosum, A. cyaneum and A. cyaneum var. deltoides were analyzed, and the interspecific relationships were investigated on the basis of the C-banding patterns. The banding pattern of each species was unique and made possible an easy and clear separation among them. A. thunbergii and A. deltoide-fistulosum revealed very close banding relationship but a. cyaneum and A. cyaneum var. deltoides showed significant difference in banding pattern in spite of their close plant systematic position.
