Abstract

The karyotypes and chromosome pairing of three populations (Argentina, Hungary and Libya) and two cultivars (Budakalasie-Hungary- and Hrubicki-Poland-) of Coriandrum sativum L (Umbelliferae) (2n=22) were studied. Slight differences were found between the karyotype formulae as well as the total chromosome length and volume among several of the plants investigated. A microsatellite in the short arm of a st chromosome (the largest one) and a maximum number of two nucleoli per cell were observed in the five populations. The results show the existence of polymorphism for C-banding pattern. Chromosome pairing studies showed important inter-population differences in the frequency of closed bivalents and chiasmata.
