El cariotipo fundamental de Alstroemeria versicolor Ruiz et Pav. (Alstroemeriaceae) The fundamental karyotype of Alstroemeria versicolor Ruiz et Pav. (Alstroemeriaceae)

Abstract

The karyotype of Alstroemeria versicolor Ruiz et Pav. from Chile was described. The species has a karyotype 2n = 2x = 16, and the haploid formula was 1m + 3sm + 1st + 2st-sat + 1t. The reported karyotype is asymmetric (AsK % = 65.9 and Syi = 51.8%). The results are discussed including data of others species.
