Karyotypic analysis of C-banded chromosomes of diploid alfalfa: Medicago sativa ssp. caerulea and ssp. falcata and their hybrid
Article Abstract:
Karyotyping using C-banding techniques was undertaken using two subspecies of alfalfa, Medicago sativa ssp. caerulea and Medicago sativa ssp. falcata and their hybrid to develop a karyotype for these subspecies and to investigate if C-banding will resolve the parental source of chromosomes from hybrid plants. Results indicate that the C-banding karyotype of Medicago sativa ssp. caerulea is sufficiently different from that of Medicago sativa ssp. falcata to allow differentiation between parental chromosomes in the hybrid plant.

Karyotypic analysis of N-banded chromosomes of diploid alfalfa: Medicago sativa ssp. caerulea and ssp. falcata and their hybrid
Article Abstract:
An N-banding method was used to study chromosomes of two diploid subspecies of Medicago sativa, ssp. caerulea and ssp. falcata. The aim was to develop an N-banded karyotype and use the technique to identify parental chromosomes in hybrids. Chromosome-specific bands were seen in ssp. caerulea, allowing each of the eight pairs of chromosomes to be identified and an idiogram to be developed.

Cytomixis in pollen mother cells of medicago sativa L.
Article Abstract:
The identification of a few cytomictic alfalfa plants 'mother plants' found to be cytomictic, which were selfed and crossed with a normal control plant, using microsporogenesis analysis are studied. Cytomixis is been detected in many plant species, but not in Medicago sativa spp.
