Genome size, chromosome counts and distribution of Homogyne alpina (Asteraceae) in the Slovak Carpathians

Homogyne alpina (L.) Cass. represents the only species of genus in Slovakia. This study characterizes H. terms chromosome counts, genome size, reproduction mode and distribution Three known cytotypes are known, which cytotype 2n = 160 is represented Slovak mountains has not been documented from other countries yet. Flow cytometric analyses showed size 2C 21.30 pg for petioles 21.82 seeds. Sexual was confirmed by flow screening method based on embryo to endosperm ratio. The centre high Carpathians, where it frequent altitude above 1000 m a. s. l. mountane alpine vegetation zone. full list data its map also presented.
