Karyotype analysis and new chromosome number reports for nine Vicia species in Iran
Authors
Abstract:
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 here for the first time. The basic chromosome number showed a range of x = 5, x = 6 and x = 7. The majority of the studied taxa were diploid with 2n = 10, 2n = 12 and 2n = 14. In a group of x = 7, three tetraploids species (2n = 28) were determined. Karyologically, the chromosomes observed were mainly from submetacentric and subtelocentric types. Based on Stebbines karyotype classification the studied Vicia species were placed in three classes: 2A, 3A & 4A.

Extensive karyotype analysis including determination of somatic chromosome number, total chromosome length and volume and estimation of 4C DNA content were carried out on three species of Pachypodium namely P. lamerei; P. namaquanum and p rosulatum ' horombense' for the first time. A significant variation in nuclear DNA amount was recorded at interspecific level. The somatic chromosome number 2...

In this study, a new chromosome number for Iranian yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) accessions was reported. Cytological analyses on four Achillea millefolium accessions, indicated that two accessions were diploids (2n=2x=18) and two tetraploids (2n=4x=36). Cluster analysis based on chromosomal characteristics and karyotype asymmetry, categorized the four accessions separated into two groups. I...
full textKaryotype 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...

In this study, we investigated the chromosome numbers of some endemic species distributed in East and South-East Iran. The mitotic chromosome counts were presented for the first time for six species in three angiosperm families including: Linaria iranica (2n=12), Nanorrhinum campyloceras (2n=18), Chaenorhinum grossecostatum (2n=24) (Plantaginaceae), Gaillonia bruguieri (Rubiaceae) (2n=22), Nepe...
