Abstract :This study was conducted to determine the number and morphological features of somatic chromosomes of yellow bluestem insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Bothriochloa ischaemum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(L); Keng); dominated in natural maqui type range vegetation of Çukurova region. The results showed that 39 out of the 40 ekotypes had 2n=60 and only one had 2n=50 chromosomes. It was determined that all the chromosomes of yellow bluestem were metacentrich and their lengths ranged from 1.3006 mm to 3.1294 mm. The cytotype with 2n=50 had two pairs of chromosomes with satellite and the cytotype with 2n=60 had three pairs of chromosomes with satellite.
