A reproducible C banding technique for Vicia faba chromosomes was developed by the combination of the modified BSG method (Tanaka and Taniguchi 1975) and the enzyme maceration and flame drying method (Kurata and Omura 1978). In comparison with the previous reports on C banding of Vicia faba, this technique revealed clear bands in the centromeric regions of all chromosomes, besides the bands in the proximal regions of both arms and the nucleolar organizing region of M chromosome and in the interstitial regions of the long arms of S chromosomes.
