Evaluation of Cytological Profile of Different Garlic Cultivar (Allium sativum L.)

Cytological studies with respect to mitotic metaphase chromosomal observations showed the more or less variability among the different garlic genotypes. Meiosis in wild garlic is regular with 8 bivalents. Chromosomal studies showed that all investigated materials have a diploid number of 16 (2n = 16). One of the features of garlic is its high level of karyotype variability and significant differences between clones for chromosome length arm ratios.
