Abstract

Similar karyotypes of 2 n=22 in Cycas circinalis, C. mediavar. basaltica, C. revolutavar. revoluta, C. revolutavar. taiwanianaand C. siamensiswere compared with each other by using the CMA and DAPI fluorescent staining methods. Their four largest submedian-centromeric chromosomes each had a CMA band at the terminal region in common. Their 12 terminal-centromeric chromosomes commonly displayed CMA bands at the terminal region and the pericentric region. Two of the 12 terminal-centromeric chromosomes carried a CMA band somewhere in the interstitial region of the long arm. C. circinalisalone showed it at a relative position closer to the centromere. The other taxa showed it at a relative position near the terminal region. All of the chromosomes exhibited the DAPI dot at the centromeric region.
