      abstract = {The experiment was conducted in the cytogenetics  laboratory of the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding  of
Bangladesh Agricultural University during July 2008 to  September 2009 aiming to analyze and compare the
karyotypes  of two genotypes of Lignosus bean (Dipogon lignosus L.) and  Lablab bean (Lablab purpureus L.). Root
tips from  germinated seeds were collected, pretreated and fixed in  acetic alcohol for using in slide preparation.
Chromosome  measurements were done from the prints of the  photomicrographs of prometaphase plates. In both  the
genotypes, 2n = 22 chromosomes was found. The range of  length of the individual chromosome was 1.22 to 2.17µ  in
Lignosus bean, and 1.17 to 3.00µ in Lablab bean. In the  Lignosus bean genotype, the haploid complement consisted
of  11 metacentric (m) chromosomes with 3 individually  identifiable ones but incase of Lablab bean the  haploid
complement consisted of 11 m chromosomes with 5  individually identifiable ones. All identifiable  chromosomes were
metacentric. This karyotype analysis of  Lignosus bean and Lablab bean will be useful for further  genetic studies.},
