Abstract
A standard karyotype based on N-banding has been constructed for Triticum aestivum L. "Alcedo". Total 12 chromosomes (2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 7A, IB, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, and 7B) have been identified. N-banding chromosomes of "Alcedo" were compared with the standard karyogramm of "Chinese Spring". Majority of the chromosomes consists of dark bands. In some cases each arm has been subdivided into more than one regions. All the chromosomes were found to be similar with the "Chinese Spring" chromosomes, except 3B and 6B. The chromosomes 3B and 6B have shown translocation.
