A Giemsa C-banding technique with a hot 1 N HCl hydrolysis step has been developed for barley chromosomes. This step makes it easy to obtain well separated C-banded chromosomes. To compare this technique with other C-banding techniques, chromosomes of H. vulgare cv. York were stained by both this technique and a modification of the technique of Kimber et al. (1976). With respect to centromeric and intercalary bands, both techniques produce a similar banding pattern, but telomeric bands observed by the modified technique of Kimber et al. (1976) were not detected by our procedure. This indicates that telomeric heterochromatin may be different chemically and/or structurally from the centromeric and intercalary heterochromatin and its appearance dependent upon the C-banding technique. The procedure described provides a relatively rapid technique for C-banding of barley chromosomes.
