in this study the original mitotic chromosome counts are presented for 5 onobrychis species of o. sect. onobrychis in iran, 2n = 2x = 14 for o. persica, 2n = 4x = 28 for o. viciifolia, 2n = 4x = 28 for o. altissima, 2n = 2x = 14 for o. shahpurensis and 2n = 2x = 14 for o. sosnovskyi. the basic chromosome numbers of all studied taxa are consistent with the proposed base number of x = 7. in addit...
