Background:

Rheum palmatum is a source of traditional Chinese medicine rhubarb.
The species is endemic and endangered.
Cytogenetic data for R. palmatum is currently lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the chromosome number and karyotype of Rheum palmatum.
To provide foundational cytogenetic information for this endangered species.

Main Methods:

Karyotype analysis using sectioning and micrography.
Determination of chromosome number (2n), basic chromosome number (x), karyotype formula, and karyotype asymmetry index.

Main Results:

Rheum palmatum exhibits a stable chromosome number of 2n = 22.
The basic chromosome number is x = 11.
The karyotype formula is 2n = 22 = 20 metacentric + 2 submetacentric (1A type), with a karyotype asymmetry index of 55.39%.

Conclusions:

The karyotype of Rheum palmatum is primitive.
This study presents the first report on the chromosome number and karyotype of R. palmatum.
The findings contribute to the understanding of the evolutionary genetics of rhubarb species.
