    Area of Science:

    • Plant Cytogenetics
    • Karyotype Analysis
    • Ploidy Variation

    Background:

    • Understanding chromosome number and structure is crucial for plant taxonomy and evolution.
    • Previous studies have indicated variability in chromosome complements within plant groups.
    • The specific karyotype characteristics and their relationship to ploidy levels require detailed investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the karyotypes of 52 plant taxa.
    • To determine the ploidy levels (diploid, triploid, tetraploid, aneuploid) within the studied group.
    • To identify basic karyotype structures and their combinations, and investigate correlations with ploidy and chromosome morphology.

    Main Methods:

    • Microscopic examination of somatic chromosome complements.

  • Chromosome counting to determine ploidy levels (2n=22, 33, 44, and aneuploid numbers).
  • Karyotype analysis to classify chromosome types based on centromere position (median, submedian, subterminal, terminal) and identify basic karyotypes (A, B, C, D).

    • Main Results:

    • Forty-five taxa were diploid (2n=22), four were triploid (2n=33), and one was tetraploid (2n=44).
    • Two aneuploid clones with 2n=23 and 2n=29 chromosomes were identified.
    • Four basic karyotypes (A, B, C, D) were recognized, with 32 taxa fitting these types and 17 showing combinations. Diploid, triploid, and tetraploid taxa consistently showed 2, 3, or telocentric chromosomes, respectively.

    Conclusions:

    • The study established four fundamental karyotypes and their combinations, providing a framework for understanding chromosomal diversity.
    • A significant correlation was observed between ploidy level and the presence of specific chromosome types (e.g., telocentric chromosomes in tetraploids).
    • The findings offer insights into the potential origins of telocentric chromosomes and aneuploid taxa, contributing to evolutionary cytogenetics.
