Karyotypic studies were undertaken with Allium cepa L. and its three varieties (Brown onion, Phule safed and Baswant 780). The chromosome number of Allium cepa L. and its two varieties were diploid with (2n= 16) and Phule safed was diploid with (2n= 20). The chromosome types were detected as mostly metacentrics (m) and submetacentrics (sm). Karyotype formula of Allium cepa L. and its varietieswere found to be 14 Am + 2Asm, 12Am + 2Bm + 2Asm and 10 Am + 6Asm, 10 Am + 8Am +2Bsm.
