Polyploidy, the possession of more than 2 complete genomes, is a major force in plant
evolution known to affect the genetic and genomic constitution and the phenotype of an …

Chromosome evolution is a fundamental aspect of evolutionary biology. The evolution of
chromosome size, structure and shape, number, and the change in DNA composition …

Abstract Development of a eukaryotic karyotype relies on identification of individual
chromosomes in the species, which has been accomplished only in a limited... Developing …

Chromosome number and genome variation in flowering plants have stimulated growing
speculation about the ancestral chromosome number of angiosperms, but estimates so far …

The amount of DNA in the nucleus of a cell is commonly referred to as the genome size or C-
value and people have been estimating this character in plants and animals for over 50 …

The genetic diversity and the relationships among sesame cultivars were investigated using
physiological and cyto/molecular analysis. To our information, no studies have yet been …

Karyotype characterizing the phenotypic aspects of the chromosome complement
represents structural and functional organization of the nuclear genome. Its constancy …

Karyotype evolution can be reconstructed by the characterization of chromosome
morphology, based on the position of centromeres. Different karyotypes often reflect …

Despite extensive literature on the diversity of karyotypes in Allium is available, no attempt to
analyse these data together, within a robust phylogenetic framework, has been carried out …

Plant genomes are dominated by repetitive DNA sequences of many distinct types which,
due to their variability and high copy numbers, are difficult to analyse. This sequence …
