Abstract
Karyological studies and sister chromatid
exchange analysis were carried out in Toda
buffaloes stationed at the Sheep Breeding Research
Station, Sandynallah, Ooty, Tamil Nadu. Mitosis was
induced by pokeweed mitogen in short term
leucocyte cultures and bromodeoxyuridine was
incorporated in the cultures to elucidate the sister
chromatid exchanges. The modal chromosome
number was found to be 50 (2n) as in other river
type buffaloes, and the relative length of
chromosomes ranged between 7.12 + 0.01 and 2.51
+ 0.34. The mean sister chromatid exchange
frequency was 7.8 + 0.23, and the data on SCE
frequency was found to follow the Poisson
distribution.
