M. A. aInstability of chromosome number in Nothoscordum fragans in Kunth. c1978 aThe study of the somatic complement of Nothoscordum fragans showed the occurrence of mosaicism in root tips. Besides common biotype 2n=13m+6t, cells with different chromosome constitutions were found: 2n=12m+8t, 2n=12m+6t. It is assumed that these complements were derived from the 2n=19, by centric fission in the first case and elimination of a m chromosome in the second one. Preliminary observations of meiosis showed different chromosome constitutions in Anaphases II. aCitologia aGenética1 aAGUIAR, M. L. R. de tCytologia, Tokyogv. 43, n. 2, p. 371-376, 1978.
