Cytogenetic studies on some Scorzonera L. s.l. (Asteraceae) taxa from Turkey.

Te plant materials were collected from diferent natural populations of Turkey between 2005 and 2011. Te classification of chromosomes, the length of the long and short arm, haploid chromosome length, arm ratio, and relative chromosomal length were measured by sofware image analyses. Te basic chromosome numbers were determined as x 6 and x 7. Two types of ploidy levels were observed as diploidy and tetraploidy. Karyotype asymmetry indices, TF%, As K%, Syi, Rec, A, A1, and A2 were also calculated. Scorzonera ahmet-duranii S.Makbul and Coskuncelebi, S. laciniata subsp. calcitrapifolia (Vahl) Marie, and Scorzonera suberosa C.Koch subsp . cariensis (Boiss.) Chamberlain had the most symmetrical karyotypes for the subgenera Scorzonera L., Podospermum (L.) DC., and Pseudopodospermum (Lipsch. and Krasch.) Lipsch., respectively.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAsteraceaeCytogeneticKaryotypeKaryotype asymmetryScorzoneraArticle393429438Q2WOS:000356358800005Q310.3906/bot-1404-96
