Abstract

The cytogenetic behavior of Bush Sitao (line No. 1), a true breeding hybrid between Vigna sinensis 'California Blackeye' and V. sesquipedalis 'Singapore', was compared with that of its parental forms. The hybrid and the parental forms showed both on the somatic and meiotic phases a basic chromosome number of 12, giving 2n -- 24. Normal behavior of the chromosomes in the reduction division was observed in the hybrid, indicating close affinity and homology of the parental genomes.
