Karyotype analysis amongst indigenous sesbania species from southern Africa
Abstract
Several studies nave been undertaken to deterrriine the karyotype of
sesbania species occurring in tropical and sub-tropical regions the
world over. However, these studies have not been exhaustive.
In the current research, a detailed karyotypic analysis of sesbania
species found in southern Africa and collected for the first time by
ICRAFwas undertaken. These species include; S sesban S macrantha S rostrata
S cinerascens, S. bispinosa, S. microphylla, S macowaniana, S pachycarpa, S. sphaerosperma, S. brevipeduncula, S. tetraptera and S. coerulascens.
