Meiotic chromosome numbers are reported for 12 species in eight genera of Acanthaceae from Madagascar. Chromosome numbers
of 11 species are reported for the first time. Counts inMendoncia (n=19) andNeuracanthus (n=20) are the first for these genera. A new chromosome number (n=30) is reported inJusticia. Systematic implications of the chromosome counts are addressed and basic chromosome numbers for these eight genera of Malagasy
Acanthaceae are discussed. 相似文献

Chromosome counts of Asteraceae are reported from Mexico, the United States, the West Indies, Peru, and Bolivia. First counts are reported for 27 species, eight infraspecific taxa, and three interspecific hybrids in Brickellia, Chrysanthellum, Cirsium, Egletes, Erigeron, Flaveria, Gnaphalium, Heterotheca, Hieracium, Hymenothrix, Koanophyllon, Layia, Lessingia, Pectis, Sclerocarpus, Stuessya, Tagetes and Wedelia. Counts are also reported for 196 taxa or hybrids for which chromosome numbers have been published previously. Of these, nine are new numbers. Taxonomic implications of certain counts are discussed. 相似文献

Chromosome numbers are reported for 156 collections representing 100 taxa of Umbelliferae. Approximately two thirds of the collections are from Mexico, Central and South America and indicate a high percentage of polyploid species in certain genera found in this area. Chromosome numbers for plants belonging to 78 taxa are published here for the first time, previously published chromosome numbers are verified for 18 taxa and chromosome numbers differing from those previously published are reported in seven instances. No chromosome counts have been previously published for nine of the genera included here. Further aneuploidy and polyploidy were found in Eryngium, and Lomatium columbianum has been found to be a high polyploid with 2n = 14x. Every chromosome count is referable to a cited herbarium specimen. 相似文献

Chromosome numbers are reported for 221 collections from eleven western states. These records represent 85 species included in 48 genera. Counts for the following species are here presented for the first time: Melica spectabilis, Blepharidachne kingii, Eragrostis obtusijlora, Hilaria rigida, Redfieldia flexuosa, and Sporobolus interruptus. The record for Redfieldia is also the first for that genus. In addition, numbers which differ from those in the literature are recorded for ten species, in three cases two different numbers for the same taxon. Cytological evidence is also presented indicating that Hilaria jamesii and H. rigida have hybridized and that the F1 has backcrossed to both parents. 相似文献

Chromosome numbers are reported for 20 collections of Hawaiian Lobelioideae (Campanulaceae), representing six genera, 13 species, and two interspecific hybrids. All are n = 14. Chromosome numbers are reported for the first time for eight species of Clermontia, Cyanea, Delissea, Lobelia, and Trematolobelia; the report for Delissea is the first for that genus. Additional determinations confirmed previously reported numbers in five other species of Brighamia, Clermontia, and Cyanea. Chromosome numbers are now known for all seven genera and 20 of the 110 species. All accepted counts are n = 14. It is suggested that all Hawaiian Lobelioideae share this number and are paleotetraploid. There is no evidence that the prolific speciation evident among these plants was accompanied by euploid or aneuploid change in chromosome number. The Hawaiian Lobelioideae, particularly the monophyletic lineage of 91 baccate species, offer further support for the generalization that change in chromosome number is an uncommon mode of speciation in insular floras. 相似文献

The American genus Cuphea with ca. 260 species is extremely diverse with respect to chromosome number. Counts are now available for 78 species and/or varieties, or 29% of the genus. Included in this study are first reports for 15 taxa from Brazil, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Venezuela. Twenty-two different numbers are known for the genus, ranging from n = 6 to n = 54. The most common number in the primary center of species diversity in Brazil is n = 8, which is regarded as the base number of the genus. Two numbers are most common in the secondary center in Mexico, n = 10 and n = 12. Species with n = 14 or higher are considered to be of polyploid origin. Polyploids comprise 46% of the total species counted and appear in 9 of the 11 sections for which chromosome numbers have been reported. Aneuploid species comprise ca. 25% of the genus and are known from 7 of the 11 sections. The two subgenera are not characterized by different chromosome numbers or sequences of numbers. None of the 14 sections are circumscribed by a single chromosome number. Morphological and ecological variability in widespread, weedy species is correlated with differing chromosome numbers in some species whereas in others the chromosome number is stable. Summary of chromosome numbers by taxonomic section is presented. Section Euandra, centered in eastern Brazil, and the largest section of the genus, appears to be chromosomally most diverse. In section Trispermum, characterized by difficult, variable species with intermediate forms, two of the four species studied have polyploid races. Section Heterodon, endemic to Mexico and Central America and comprising most of the annual species of the genus, is best known chromosomally. Chromosome numbers have been counted for 25 of 28 species, and 12 different numbers are reported. The most advanced sections, Melvilla and Diploptychia, with numerous species occurring at higher altitudes, are characterized by high polyploids. Apomictic species occur in sect. Diploptycia. The cytoevolution of Cuphea is complex with frequent polyploid and aneuploid events apparently playing a significant role in speciation in both centers of diversity. 相似文献

Chromosome number and morphology in mosquitoes is remarkably uniform: virtually all mosquitoes have a diploid chromosome number of six (2N = 6), and their chromosomes are invariably metacentric or submetacentric. Numerical changes obviously have not been important in mosquito chromosomal evolution, and because of the morphological similarity of their chromosomes, it appears that structural changes have played little or no role in mosquito karyotypic evolution. The goal of the present study was to identify the types and relative numbers of chromosomal changes in mosquito evolution and to extend the comparison where possible to the higher diptera. To do this, we compared the enzyme linkage maps of six species of Aedes to each other and to enzyme maps of seven other mosquito species and to Drosophila melanogaster. Our results indicate that Aedes chromosomes have been modified by inversions, most which were paracentric, and by translocations, most which were Robertsonian. Intrageneric comparison of Aedes enzyme maps also revealed groups of linked enzyme loci whose integrity has been maintained throughout Aedes evolution (conserved linkages/syntenies). Intergeneric comparisons of Aedes enzyme maps with those of species in the genera Culex, Anopheles, and Toxorhynchites disclosed conserved associations of enzyme loci between mosquito genera. These findings lead us to postulate that the ancestral mosquito karyotype consisted of six chromosomal elements which, other than being combined in different ways in various mosquito groups, have remained essentially intact during mosquito evolution. Furthermore, the identification of groups of linked enzyme loci common to mosquitoes and to D. melanogaster indicates that linkage group conservation may characterize the karyotypic evolution of all dipteran insects. 相似文献

Chromosome numbers and karyotypes are reported for seven species in three genera, of Mexican cycads. Karyotypic analysis of Cycads is made difficult by differential contraction, of their large chromosomes but idiograms are presented. Satellite variation is reported for three species of Ceratozamia. No satellites are reported for the three species of Zamia. 相似文献

Chromosome numbers are reported for 33 species of the tribe Phaseoleae. Six reports are first counts for their species; one report (Ophrestia hedysaroides) is a first count for the genus. This increases the number of genera counted to 53 out of a total 84 for the tribe. A survey of base numbers shows a general pattern of numbers 10 or 11, the same base numbers as in the neighboring tribes Dalbergieae sensu lato, Galegeae sensu lato, and Abreae. The chromosomes are generally small and polyploidy is uncommon. Deviations from base numbers 10 or 11 are mostly found in those genera with morphological pecularities and puzzling taxonomic placements: Erythrina (21), Clitoria (8, 11, 12), Butea (9), Calopogonium (18), Teramnus (14), and Strongylodon (14). Two genera have base numbers which suggest derivation by polyploidy: Glycine (20) and Cologania (22). 相似文献

de Wet , J. M. J. (Div. Botany, Pretoria, So. Africa.) Chromosome numbers and some morphological attributes of various South African Grasses. Amer. Jour. Bot. 47(1): 44—49. Illus. 1960.– Chromosome numbers are reported for 68 species and varieties of grasses belonging to 40 genera. These include first reports for the genera Megastachya, Lintonia, Plagiochloa, Ctenium, Oropetium and Beckeropsis. Cytological data were correlated with observations from leaf and embryo anatomy. A common ancestor is postulated for the tribes Oryzeae, Ehrharteae and Centotheceae. The genera Lasiochloa, Plagiochloa and Urochlaena appear to belong neither with the tribe Festuceae nor with the Eragrosteae but probably are closer related to the Danthonieae. Lintonia. Entoplocamia, Tetrachne and Fingerhuthia are characterized by the chloridoid-eragrostoid type of cytology and leaf anatomy but the bambusoid type of embryo anatomy. For these reasons they appear to represent relics of the original Eragostoid and Chloridoid stock. The South African representatives of the genus Crinipes differ from the tropical species in respect to leaf anatomy. The tropical species are typically of the arundinoid type, whereas the South African species appear to be related to the Danthonieae. 相似文献

Turner , B. L., and O. S. Fearing . (U. Texas, Austin.) Chromosome numbers in the Leguminosae. II. African species, including phyletic interpretations. Amer. Jour. Bot. 46(1) : 49-57. Illus. 1959.—Chromosome numbers for 30 African legume species have been reported. These include first reports for 28 taxa, including 12 genera (Bolusanthus, Calpurnia, Melolobium, Lessertia, Sulherlandia, Colophospermum, Guibourtia, Burkea, Julbernardia, Schotia, Piliostigma and Swartzia). The counts are discussed with respect to those previously reported for related groups, and this chromosomal information was used to construct hypothetical phyletic lines at the tribal level within the subfamilies Papilionoideae and Caesalpinioideae. A phyletic scheme for the Leguminosae (excluding the Mimosoideae) based on this evidence from chromosome studies is presented. Notable departures from previously suggested phyletic treatments include: (1) Suggestion for inclusion of genera of the Galegeae and Hedysareae with base numbers of x = 10 and 11 with the Phaseoleae and Dalbergieae. (2) Derivation of the Papilionoideae through caesalpinoid prototypes, possibly from Swartzia-like ancestors. (3) Recognition of several very old chromosomal lines stemming from the subfamily Caesalpinioideae, and the suggestion that parts of the tribes Sclerolobieae, Cynometreae, Swartzieae and Sophoreae are, perhaps, more closely related to each other and to the Papilionoideae than they are to the remaining caesalpinoid tribal lines. 相似文献

Turner, B. L., and Olin S. Fearing. (U. Texas, Austin.) Chromosome numbers in the Leguminosae. III. Species of the Southwestern United States and Mexico. Amer. Jour. Bot. 47(7) : 603–608. Illus. 1960.—Chromosome counts for 43 species of the Leguminosae from the southwestern United States and Mexico have been reported. These include first reports for 42 taxa of which 16 are for the subfamily Mimosoideae. Olneya tesota (2n = 18) is the only new generic count listed. Chromosome reports of particular significance include a single polyploid count for a North American species of Acacia, as well as diploid and tetraploid counts for closely related taxa in this genus. Four species of the genus Schrankia were found to be diploid with In = 26, indicating a base of x = 13 instead of the x = 8 reported by some previous workers. Leucaena pulverulenta was found to have a diploid count of 2n = 56 indicating a base of x = 14. 相似文献

Abstract Chaetoseris and Stenoseris are two morphologically close genera from the tribe Cichorieae of the sunflower family and they are endemic in alpine eastern Himalayas to the Hengduan Mountains of SW China. Mitotic chromosome numbers and karyotypes are reported for 12 populations representing eight species of Chaetoseris and two species of Stenoseris from the Hengduan Mountains region. Eight species are new and the other two provide confirmation of previous reference. All Chaetoseris and Stenoseris taxa are diploidy with 2n= 16 and their basic number is tentatively suggested as x= 8. Karyotypes of Chaetoseris and Stenoseris are similar to each other with 2A and 2B for the former and 2A for the latter. Cytological data of chromosomal numbers and karyotypes support a close relationship of the two genera. Currently no polyploids are found for these two genera and it seems that polyploidization has played a minor role in their evolutionary speciation in the Hengduan Mountains region. 相似文献

Chromosome numbers and other cytogenetic data were determined from microsporocytes in 316 collections including 13 tribes of Compositae, mostly from Africa, Australia, Mexico, Central America, and South America. First reports are provided for 66 species and the genera Cassinia (2n ≈ 14II), Feldstonia (2n = 11II), Gochnatia (2n ≈ 23II), and Pseudoconyza (n = 10). In addition, new chromosome numbers are established at the generic level in Acourtia, Calea, Craspedia, Gnaphalium, Helipterum, Liabum, Leucheria, Smallanthus, Trixis, and Viguiera and at the specific level in 13 additional species. 相似文献

Chromosome counts from 132 plant populations representing 124 taxa (in 67 genera) are reported. These include previously unreported counts for over 70 species and 5 new generic counts (Hofmeisteria, x = 19; Oxypappus, x = 10; Pterocaulon, x = 10; Stenocarpha, x = 8; and Urbinella, x = 8). Two new base numbers are reported for specieis of Perityle (P. californica, x = 13 and P. palmeri, x = 17), and previously unreported n numbers have been found for species of the genera Bidens (n = 17) and Hymenostephium (n = 21). Several gametic cells with differing meiotic configurations were found in the same head of Stevia viscida (n = 11 pairs; 11 pairs and 11 univalents; 33 univalents). When appropriate, the chromosomal information has been related to systematic problems, especially for genera of the subtribes Flaverinae, Coreopsidinae, Galinsoginae and Peritylinae. 相似文献
