Caryologia (Mar 2020)
Karyotypic investigation concerning five Bromus Species from several populations in Iran
Abstract
Karyotypes of five taxa (fourteen populations) of the genus Bromus from different geographic origins is presented: B. scoparius, B. japonicus, B. madritensis, B. rubens and B. tomentellus. The ploidy levels were different. B. scoparius and B. japonicus were found 2n=2x=14, B. madritensis and B. rubens were found 2n=4x=28 and B. tomentellus were found 2n=6x=42. Detailed karyotype analysis allows us to group the different populations and to postulate relationships among them.
