This research was conducted in the Cytology Laboratory of the Field Crops Department, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ankara in 1996. Research material was obtained from bitter vetch experiments conducted in our department. Seed material originated from the İzmir- Karaburun region is a typical population.
