Original meiotic or mitotic chromosome counts are presented for 17 species in 12 families of angiosperms from Iran. Chromosome counts for Amberboa nana, n=16 (Asteraceae) and Camelina rumelica subsp. transcapica, n=13 (Brassicaceae) are repoted for the first time. Chromosome numbers for six species including: Rhagadiolus stellatus (n=5), Campanula raponcoloides (n=34), Campanula trachelium (n=1...

Karyotype study was performed across 7 populations of 4 Rubus species growing in Iran. The results showed that the chromosome numbers of R. sanctus (2n=2x=14) diploid, R. caesius, and R. discolor were (2n=4x=28) tetraploids, R. persicus (2n=8x=56) octoploid. The chromosome numbers of R. discolor, and R. persicus were reported here for the first time. Karyotypic formula also varied between the s...

The main objective of the present study was to develop an efficient and reliable probe to be routinely used for detection of chromosome 13 copy numbers by interphase FISH. To achieve this, a Yeast Artificial Chromosome (YAC) containing sequences specific for human 13q12 (744D11), was cultured and the whole yeast genomic DNA was extracted. The human insert within the isolated DNA was amplified b...

This study concerns the cytotaxonomic investigations on twelve species belonging to three sections from the genus Vicia in Iran. A taxonomic background of the genus is given in brief. The previous counts reported for the genus in Index to plant chromosome number are summarized. In addition to one new count, the chromosome numbers of four species are reported for the first time. Briefly, the ...

karyotypes of eleven iranian populations of trigonella foenum-graceum were investigated. somatic chromosome numbers of examined populations were determined as 2n = 14. chromosomal parameters were examined as follows: long arm length (tl), short arm, total chromosome length, arm ratio, r-value, form percentage of chromosome, total form percentage of karyotype. chromosomes were mostly metacentric...
