Karyotype Analysis and Chromosome Evolution in Species of Lathyrus (Fabaceae)

Karyotype analysis and new chromosome number reports for nine Vicia species in Iran

This study concerns diploid chromosome numbers and karyotype analysis of nine species belonging to four sections (Vicilla, Cracca, Variegata and Anatropostylia) of the subgenus Vicilla of the genus Vicia (Fabaceae). The chromosome numbers of Vicia alpestris subsp. hypoleuca, V. aucheri, V. ciceroideae, V. gariensis, V. iranica, V. koeieana, V. rechingeri, V. sojakii and V. venulosa are reported...

Karyotype Analyses of Four Astragalus L. (fabaceae) Species from Turkey

Astragalus L. is a perennial herbaceous genus belonging to the family Fabaceae. Chromosome morphology was defined for the first time in four species of Astragalus namely; A. antalyensis A.Duran & Podlech, A. nezaketae A.Duran & Aytaç, A. cariensis Boiss. & A. schizopterus Boiss. All species contained diploid chromosome numbers of 2n = 16. However, polyploid cells (4x = 32) were also observed in...

Karyotype Analysis and Chromosome Banding

Nearly all methods of chromosome banding rely on harvesting chromosomes in mitosis. This is usually achieved by treating cells with tubulin inhibitors, such as colchicine or demecolcine (colcemid), that depolymerize the mitotic spindle and so arrest the cell at this stage. Excessively long incubations with Colcemid result in overcondensed chromosomes that band poorly and moreover some cell type...
