Quantitative karyotypic analysis in five varieties of lentil (Lens Culinaris Medik.)
Abstract
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is one of the common pulse crop worldwide belongs to the family Leguminosae bearing chromsome number 2n=14. Five varieties of lentil seeds i.e., BARI Musur-1, 2, 3, 4 and 8406-122 were selected for quantitative karyotypic analysis released by BARI. The identified chromosome pairs were four (I, II, IV, VI) in BARI Musur-1, five (I, II, III, V, VII) in BARI Musur-2, five (I, II, III, IV, VII) in BARI Musur-3, four (I, II, IV, VII) in BARI Musur-4 and three (I, IV, VI) in BARI Musur-8406-122. Unidentified chromosomes were allocated in different morphological classes based on probabilistic inferences. Total chromatin length (TCL) was found to be the largest in BARI masur-3 and smallest in BARI masur-2. Total fraction frequency (TF %) was observed highest in BARI masur-8406-122 and lowest in BARI masur-4. The proposed standard karyotype were 2L1m+1Sm+2M1m+1st+3S12sm+1st for BARI Musur-1, 1Lm+2M1m+1sm+3S11m+1sm+1st+1S21st for BARI Musur-2, 4L2m+2sm+3M1sm+2st for BARI Musur-3, 5L1m+3sm+1st+1M1St+1S11Sm for BARI Musur-4 and 1L1m+3M2m+1sm+3S11Sm+2st for BARI Musur-8406-122. All examined varieties of lentil showed assymetric karyotype with the presence of two sub-terminal chromosomes except BARI Musur-1 consist of only one. These research findings suggest their advanceness in nature and leads to the evolutionary trends which may be helpful for plant breeding program.
