Cytogenetical Studies of the Genus Sesbania from W. Pakistan

Abstract

The cytogenetical behaviour of four species of Sesbania Adanson viz. S. grandiflora Poir.; S. bispinosa (Jacq.) Wight; S. concolor Gillett and S. sesban (L.) Merrill has been described for the first time from West-Pakistan. The chromosome count of n=12 for S. concolor is a new record as it does not appear to have been investigated before. The spindle anomalies and an inconsistency in the chromosome numbers of S. sesban have been discussed.
