CYTOTAXONOMIC STUDIES OF SOME IRANIAN VICIA SPECIES (FABACAEA)

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

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 results of this study are discussed and compared with the reported counts

Cytotaxonomic studies in six species of Vernonia (Asteraceae: Vernonieae)

In this report, we describe a mitotic analysis (Giemsa technique) of six species of the genus Vernonia sensu Baker (Asteraceae, Vernonieae, section Lepidaploa) in order to assess the validity of maintaining this genus (sensu Baker) or dividing it into several lesser genera (sensu Robinson). Specimens of the seven species were collected in “cerrado” and “campo rupestre” areas in the states of Sã...

MICROMORPHOLOGY OF SEED IN SOME VICIA SPECIES FROM IRAN

The morphology of 11 species of the genus Vicia from Iran was studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The main pattern in seed coat sculpturing in the species was papillose, but the size and the number of side ribs in papillae and the density of papillae, were different in various species. Four morphological characters of seeds: relative hilum length and shape, relative position of th...

CYTOTAXONOMIC STUDIES IN WEST HIMALAYAN BRYACEAE (MUSCI)

The meiotic chromosomes of 10 species (Pohlia elongata, Anomobryum cymbifolium, Brachymenium acuminatum, B. ochianum, B. sikkimense, Bryum cellulare, B. pseudotriquetrum, B. apiculatum, B. capillare and B. atrovirense), in four genera of the family Bryaceae of acrocarpous mosses are studied with special emphasis on their evolution, polyploidy and cytological features with reference to interrela...

ANATOMICAL STUDIES OF SOME AVENA SPECIES IN IRAN

In this research foliar anatomy of seven species of Avena are studied under the light microscope and the scanning electron microscope (SEM). This study includes seven species, namely, A. barbata, A. clauda, A. eriantha, A. fatua, A. ludoviciana, A. sativa and A. wiestii. Different anatomical characters sush as number of bulliform cells, mesophyll thickness, midrib, number of vascular bundles fr...

MEIOTIC STUDIES OF SOME AVENA SPECIES AND POPULATIONS IN IRAN

Eleven populations of five Avena species were analysed for meiotic characters including chiasma frequency and distribution as well as chromosomal association and segregation. Plants of a single population of A. eriantha showed the presence of 2n = 14 (diploid) and 2n = 4x = 28 chromosome number. Populations of A. barbata and A. wiestii possessed n = 14, while populations of A. sterilis ssp. lud...
