View larger version (79K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1. Comparison of the C-banding patterns of African, Peruvian, Chilean, and Indian alfalfa populations. The first number next to each band is the percentage of homologous chromosomes possessing the heterochromatic bands. The second number is the percentage of plants that had chromosomes with heterochromatic bands on all four homologs.

Dendrogram from Ward's minimum variance cluster analysis of genetic distances among 80 alfalfa plants tracing to African, Peruvian, Chilean, and Indian alfalfa populations. Dendrograms are based on the chromosomal C-banding patterns of all eight chromosomes.
