This study was carried out in Agricultural and Natural Resource Research Center of Esfahan during 2004-2006. Karyotypes of 5 fennel populations were studied, using root tip mitotic cells. The base chromosome number was x= 11 for the studied popurations. Number of chromosomes, length of the longest chromosome, length of the shortest chromosome, longest/ shortest length ratio, average of long arm/short arm ratio, average of short arm/long arm ratio, average of chromosomes ratio were recorded. The types of chromosomes were metacantric, submetacentric and telocentric. Comparison of relative length of the shortest chromosome (S%) showed that Lorestan and Fozveh-Najafabad populations with 75% and 72.72% relative length of the shortest chromosome, respectively, had more symmetric karyotype and Esfahan population with 33.33% relative length value had less symmetric karyotype. �و�� ��0K�Lر جمعیت مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. براساس نتایج بدست آمده، عدد پایه کروموزومی‌در تمام جمعیتهای مورد مطالعه 11=x و تعداد کروموزوم22x =2n =2 بود. کروموزومهای ژنوم 5 جمعیت از نوع متاسانتریک، ساب متاسانتریک و ساب تلوسانتریک بودند. شکل کلی کاریوتیپ‌ها حاکی از تقارن نسبی هر پنج توده است. بررسی طول نسبی کوتاهترین کروموزوم نشان داد که دو جمعیت لرستان و فزوه نجف‌آباد با مقادیر به‌ترتیب برابر با 75% و 72/72% متقارن‌تر از سایر جمعیت‌ها و جمعیت اصفهان (33/33%) نسبت به سایرین از تقارن کمتری برخوردار است.
