Abstract: Analyzed karyotypes of three varieties of Carica papaya including ‘Suizhonghong ’,‘Risheng’and ‘Meizhonghong’. The results showed that they all have a pair ofmedian satellites located on the sixth pair chromosomes of ‘Suizhonghong’ and ‘Risheng’ and on the seventh pair chromosomes of ‘Meizhonghong’. And we analyzed the heterochromosomes in ‘Suizhonghong’and ‘Risheng’. According to the results, we primarily discussed that there are sex chromosomes or not in Carica papaya. The karyotype formulas of three varieties: ‘Suizhonghong’, 2n = 2x = 18 = 16m (2SAT) + 2 sm; ‘Risheng’, 2n = 2x = 18 = 14m (2SAT) + 4 sm; ‘Meizhonghong’, 2n = 2x = 18 = 16m (2SAT) + 2 sm, and three karyotypes all are “2A”, but there are some differences among them.

Key words: Carica papaya, Karyotype, Heterochromosomes, Sex chromosome
