Özet

The cytological features including chromosome counts, karyotypic measurements and localizations of C-banding were investigated in two species of Sternbergia Waldst. and Kit. from Turkey. Chromosome lengths were ranged from 18.04 to 6.62 μm in S. fisheriana (Herbert) Rupr. and from 23.56 to 8.73 μm in S. candida Mathew and T. Baytop. The karyotype of S. fischeriana was consisted from three pairs of metacentric and seven pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes. The karyotype formula of S. candida was consisted from three metacentric, four subtelocentric and three acrocentric chromosomes. One B chromosome was observed in each species. Predominate and also very faint telomeric and some faint centromeric and proximal C-bands were observed in both species.
