Abstract

The chromosome number ofA. thaliana from three localities in Central Bohemia was found to be 2n=10. All the chromosomes (length 1,5–2,6μm) belong to the atelocentric type, four pairs (m) having the centromere in the median and one pair (sm) in the submedian region. In connection with the discussion on the origin ofH. suecica the author presents the following preliminary results: a) the failure to cross the tetraploidCardaminopsis arenosa (L.)Hayek withA. thaliana; b) the successful crossing of the diploidC. petraea (L.)Hiit. withA. thaliana; c) the discovery of a diploid population ofC. arenosa (2n=16) in the Tatra Mts. (Czechoslovakia).
