Abstract
On the basis of relative length, arm ratio, chromomere pattern and nucleolar association all the eleven pachytene chromosomes of A. sericea were identified. The pachytene complement consists of 2 median, 8 submedian and 1 subterminal chromosomes. On the basis of comparison of parental pachytene chromosomes, 7 are common to A. sericea and Cajanus. Complete synapsis in majority of the microsporocytes of Cajanus×A. sericea hybrid indicates a high degree of homology. In the hybrid, out of eleven bivalents, eight bivalents, including two exhibiting heteromorphism were identified. Occasionally two translocations and a duplication loop were observed in a few cells. On the basis of various evidences, it is concluded that A. sericea has a lesser degree of affinity to Cajanus than A. lineata.
