Chromosome Numbers in Some Californian Compositae-astereae

Relationships Among Astereae (Compositae) Genera Having X=6

Gene number in species of Astereae that have different chromosome numbers.

Differences in the gametic chromosome numbers (n = 4, 5, 9) of species in the Astereae tribe of the Compositae have been variously interpreted. One hypothesis proposes that n = 9 was the original base number of the group and that the lower numbers resulted from aneuploid reduction. The alternative hypothesis asserts that the ancestral base number was n = 4 or n = 5 and that species in which n =...

Chromosome Numbers for Some Erodium L'Hér (Geraniaceae) Species of Iran

Erodium (Geranaiceae) species are distributed in different habitats of Iran. Some species are of medicinal importance while some are well known weeds. There are no chromosome counts for Erdoium species of Iran. Chromosome numbers are given for six taxa of Erodium (Geraniaceae) from Iran: E. cicutarium (2n=36), E. ciconium(2n=18), E. malacoides (2n=20), E. moschatum (2n=20), E. neuradifolium (2n...

Chromosome numbers and meiotic behavior of some Paspalum accessions

Chromosome number and meiotic behavior were evaluated in 36 Brazilian accessions of the grass Paspalum (which had never previously been analyzed) to determinate which accessions might be useful in interspecific hybridizations. The analysis showed that one accession of Paspalum coryphaeum was diploid (2n = 2x = 20) and one accession of Paspalum conspersum hexaploid (2n = 6x = 60), the remaining ...
