A basic chromosome number of x = 9 has been confirmed for Cenchrus ciliaris L. Polyploidy is common and levels vary from tetraploid to hexaploid. Aneuploidv is reported for a single specimen, where two chromosomes of a single genome were lost. Various meiotic irregularities were observed. The highest incidence of meiotic abnormalities was observed in the pentaploid specimens. This was attributed to their uneven polyploid level All specimens varied from segmental alloploid to alloploid.

Plants of Triticum aestivum cv. Chinese Spring were regenerated from 30 calli obtained from suspension cultures. All four plants showed abnormal meiotic chromosome behaviour relative to the control. The average meiotic configuration over all plants was 1.55 I + 18.16 II + 0.30 III + 0.82 IV. In addition, an isochromosome was frequently observed in cells of all plants, which was indicative of centromeric breaks. Key words: culture (suspension), wheat, chromosome instability.

A cytological investigation of the ascomycete, Aspergillus nidulans (Eidam) Winter, was undertaken to test the feasibility of using simple light-microscopial techniques to study chromosome aberrations for the correlation of chromosomes and linkage groups in this genetically well analysed fungus. Pachytene chromosome analysis was not possible, because the chromosomes are very small, do not spread well when squashed, and show very little structural detail. Some catenations were seen at first metaphase in translocation heterozygotes either as dense masses or, more rarely, as open rings. Lagging chromosomes were also seen at low frequency in both first and second anaphase and telophase in translocation but not in control material. The limited evidence from the study shows that meiotic chromosome behaviour in Aspergillus nidulans heterozygous for reciprocal translocations is probably similar to that in some higher organisms. However, the species is not suitable for detailed cytological analysis, at least by the techniques employed.
