WE COMPARED CHROMOSOME NUMBER (CN) VARIATION AMONG VASCULAR FLORAS OF THREE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES WITH INCREASING LATITUDE IN THE BOREAL HEMISPHERE: Italy, Slovakia, Poland. Aim of the study was to verify whether the patterns of CN variation parallel the differences in latitudinal ranges. The three datasets comprised 3426 (Italy), 3493 (Slovakia) and 1870 (Poland) distinct cytotypes. Standard sta...
