Summary
Participants in a workshop on onion chromosome nomenclature held during the Eucarpia 4th Allium Symposium, agreed to consider the nomenclature for the chromosomes of Allium cepa L. proposed by E.R. Kalkman (1984) as the standard. Recommendations were formulated for the chromosome nomenclature of species which are cross compatible with onion.
