Abstract
The six species of the section Foenum-graecum of Trigonella have the same chromosome number, 2n = 16. T. gladiata and T. cariensis have fairly symmetrical karyotypes, while those of T. foenum-graecum, T. berythea, T. macrorrhyncha and T. cassia are asymmetrical. C-bands are present in all six species but the number of bands and their positive vary considerably among the species. The karyotype evidence suggests that none of the available species of the Foenum-graecum section can be considered as the wild progenitor of fenugreek.
