Summary of karyotype characteristics of eight Medicago sativa populations from the Lake Region of Türkiye. TL: total chromosome length (μm); HCL: haploid complement length (μm); CI: centromere index; SAT: satellite length (μm); CV (%): coefficient of variation of chromosome length; A1: intrachromosomal asymmetry index; A2: interchromosomal asymmetry index; DRL: difference in relative chromosome length; TF (%): total form percentage; DI: dispersion index; SC: Stebbins’ karyotype asymmetry category; MCA (%): mean centromeric asymmetry; CVCL (%): coefficient of variation of chromosome length; CVCI (%): coefficient of variation of centromeric index.
