Abstract
The most intriguing karyological features of the genus Allium are polyploidy
and the frequent appearance of supernumerary or B chromosomes (Bs). Specimens
of Allium flavum from natural populations at the Gornjacka Gorge in the
vicinity of Gornjak Monastery, Serbia, were analyzed karyologically. All
studied plants were tetraploid (2n = 32). One submetacentric B chromosome
representing 1% of the genome, smaller than the smallest chromosomes of the
standard set, was present in some plants. This is the first finding of Bs in
tetraploid A. flavum.
