Summary

Callus tissue ofVicia faba has been grown from explants of immature embryos. The karyological analysis by the Giemsa C-banding technique has shown triploid and tri-aneuploid mitoses, all with an extra chromosome and with structurally altered karyotypes. Estimates of the amounts of interphase heterochromatin (chromocentres) indicate endopolyploidy up to 12 n.
