Cytological studies on some accessions of African yam bean (AYB) (Sphenostylis stenocarpa Hochst. Ex. A. Rich. Harms)
Mitotic, meiotic and pollen studies were carried out on selected accessions of African yam bean (AYB).
Presented results confirmed diploid status of the species. Somatic chromosome counts of 2n= 22 (n=11)

The somatic chromosomes were very small, mostly metacentric and submetacentric with...
