| Abstract | In the present study, 48 individuals of common or yellow-legged green pigeon, Treron phoenicoptera phoenicoptera (Latham), belonging to the family Columbidae of the order Columbiformes were utilized for the analysis of G-banding patterns. The birds were sampled from different geographical areas which have been grouped as three distinct populations. Population A consists of birds from Allahabad. Populations B and C consist of birds from Chotanagpur Division and Singhbhum Division of Jharkhand, respectively. Besides these individuals a single female bird from Berhampur (district Ganjam) of coastal Odisha has also been karyotyped. The diploid complement comprises of 74 chromosomes which consists seven pairs of macrochromosomes (including the sex chromosomes) and thirty pairs of microchromosomes. The bird was found to be polymorphic for chromosome pairs 1 and 2. The chromosome pair 1 was present either in a metacentric (1$^{m}$) or a subtelocentric (1$^{st}$) condition. Similarly chromosome 2 was also present as either a subtelocentric (1$^{st}$) or a metacentric (2$^{m}$). The polymorphism was explained on the basis of two independent pericentric inversions involving chromosome pairs 1 and 2. With two chromosomes, involved karyomorphs were in inversions, ideally there should be nine types of karyomorphs. In the present investigation five different karyomorphs were encountered. GTG banding (G-bands by trypsin using Giemsa) method of Seabright (Lancet 2:971–972, 1971) was adopted with some modifications. All the karyomorphs were subjected to G-banding analysis, however, consistent and reasonably good G-bands were produced only in karyomorphs 1$^{m}$1$^{m}$/2$^{st}$2$^{m}$, 1$^{m}$1$^{m}$/2$^{st}$2$^{st}$, 1$^{st}$1$^{st}$/2$^{st}$2$^{m}$ of population A., 1$^{m}$1$^{m}$/2$^{st}$2$^{m}$, of population B, 1$^{m}$1$^{m}$/2$^{st}$2$^{st}$ and 1$^{m}$1$^{m}$/2$^{st}$2$^{m}$ of population C and 1$^{m}$1$^{m}$/2$^{st}$2$^{m}$ of Berhampur, Odisha. The G-banding patterns are based on observations of ten metaphase plates of each karyomorphs. Thus, the idiogram showing schematic presentation of G-bands are based on the chromosomes showing minimal condensation which reveal optimum number of bands. The idiogram depicting G-bands have been constructed using the relative length (L$^{R}$) and centromeric indices (I$^{C}$) data. In G-banded chromosomes, the band nomenclature has been done according to the guidelines of Paris Conference (1971) and supplement (1975) for human chromosomes. The G-band pattern analysis revealed the presumed breakpoints in the chromosome pairs 1 and 2 lending further support to the pericentric inversions in these chromosome pairs. The banding sequence of the rearranged chromosome (1$^{st}$) can be described as: $$ {\text{pter}} \to {\text{p22}}::{\text{q12}} - {\text{p22}}::{\text{q12}} \to {\text{qter}}. $$ The banding sequence of the rearranged chromosome (2$^{m}$) can be described as: $$ {\text{pter}} \to {\text{p12}}::{\text{q21}} - {\text{p12}}::{\text{q21}} \to {\text{qter}}. $$ The G-banding patterns of the macrochromosomes has also been discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
