erodium (geranaiceae) species are distributed in different habitats of iran. some species are of medicinal importance while some are well known weeds. there are no chromosome counts for erdoium species of iran. chromosome numbers are given for six taxa of erodium (geraniaceae) from iran: e. cicutarium (2n=36), e. ciconium(2n=18), e. malacoides (2n=20), e. moschatum (2n=20), e. neuradifolium (2n...

background: chromosomal disorders are the most common cause of first trimester spontaneous abortion. among the human chromosomes, chromosome no.9 was the most common structural chromosomal variant and it is not thought to be of any functional importance, which often considers as a normal variation in structural polymorphisms, nevertheless there are some studies which claim that there is an asso...

The chromosomal spread and karyotype of Anjak (Schizocypris altidorsalis) from Hamoun Lake were determined using tissue squashing techniques with an injection of 1 mL/100 g body weight of 0.01% colchicines solution. Kidney and gill epithelia tissues were removed and used for karyotype analysis. The analysis of 145 chromosome spreads revealed the diploid chromosome number of this fish, 2n=48 and...

Oculo-auriculovertebral dysplasia (Goldenhar) is a congenital syndrome. Its phenotype differs from craniofacial anomalies to cardiac, vertebral or central nervous system defects. This syndrome is rare and its etiology is not apparent yet. Pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 is one of the most common structural balanced chromosomal aberrations with its incidences 15% to 25%. Herein we present ...

the biogeography of genus linaria was revealed by the available chromosome counts from all over the world. chromosome numbers of 92 taxa of the genus linaria are included in an on-line karyological database. furthermore, information about chromosome numbers taken from 374 literature sources was used in this paper. each database record includes name of taxon, data on chromosome and data on the o...

the present study reports the chromosome number and meiotic behaviour of 14 populationsbelonging to four taxa of anchusa subgenus buglossum gusul. from iran. all populationsshowed the chromosome number 2n= 4x= 32. it is the first meiotic study for a. subg.buglossum. we discuss some habit form and evolutionary aspect in the light of cytogeneticdata. the origin of polyploidy (auto-allopolyploidy)...
