The invention discloses a method for preparing a conventional slide of chromosomes from grapevine root tips. The method comprises the following steps: material culture, pretreatment, immobilization, preservation, dissociation, dyeing, slide preparation and microscopic examination. According to the invention, rooting of grapevine twigs is easy, and root tips are moderately thick and facilitate preparation of a chromosome slide; the prepared slide is flat in specimen cells and dispersed in chromosomes; pretreatment with a saturated p-dichlorobenzene solution can improve the success rate of slide preparation, enables chromosomes to be shortened and thickened, reduces the viscosity of cytoplasm and allows more metaphase chromosomes to be obtained; and a mixed enzyme solution with a concentration of 3.5% is used for enzymatic hydrolysis, so cell walls are decomposition, pectic substances among meristematic cells are decomposed, cells are well dispersed, and chromosomes are large in dispersion space and uniform in dispersion and are thus easy to count. The preparation method of the invention has the advantages of easiness, quick preparation, low preparation cost and easy operation, and obtained cells are good in division phase and high in accuracy, which are of great significance to understanding of the genetic background of grapes, the selection of parents in breeding and post-identification.
