Abstract

Trigonella foenum-graecum L. is an important medicinal species. The karyological study have showed that 2n=16. We identified following types of chromosomes: m, sm and, sometimes, st (only in early metaphase). So, we can appreciate that the karyotype of this species is enough symmetric and less evolved.
