Karyological Studies on Nine Astragalus L. Taxa in Turkey
Abstract
The
somatic chromosome number and morphometric properties of nine Astragalus taxa native to Turkey were
studied in detail. Somatic chromosome numbers have been determined as follows: A. campylorhynchus Fisch. &
C.A.Mey., A. suberosus Banks &
Sol., A. densifolius Lam. subsp. densifolius, A. cretaceus Boiss., A.
leporinus Boiss. var. hirsutus
(Post) Chamberlain, A. anthylloides
Lam., A. odoratus Lam. 2n=16, A. lamarckii Boiss. 2n=32, A. camptoceras Bunge, diploid chromosome
number 2n = 2x = 16 and 2n = 4x = 32 tetraploid were seen in the cells.
Chromosomes of Astragalus taxa, whose
karyotype analyses were made, generally had metacentric and sub-metacentric
chromosomes. In A. densifolius Lam.
subsp. densifolius taxon, one pair
satellite chromosomes (sat-chromosome) were observed. Among the species A. leporinus var. hirsutus and A. lamarckii were
identified for the first time.
