Cytogenetics constitutes a branch of genetics that is focused on the cellular components,
especially chromosomes, in relation to heredity and genome structure, function and …

Most of the cultivated chenopods are polyploids, but their origin and evolutionary history are
still poorly understood. Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences of four plastid regions …

Molecular evolution of ribosomal DNA can be highly dynamic. Hundreds to thousands of
copies in the genome are subject to concerted evolution, which homogenizes sequence …

The Iris series Chinenses in Korea comprises four species (I. minutoaurea, I. odaesanensis,
I. koreana, and I. rossii), and the group includes some endangered species, owing to their …

Allioideae (eg, chives, garlics, onions) comprises three mainly temperate tribes: Allieae (800
species from the northern hemisphere), Gilliesieae (80 South American species), and …

The pantropical Caesalpinia group comprises 27 genera and approximately 205 species.
The Neotropical species of the group are distributed in three main centers of diversity: the …

The significance of the wide interspecific variation in nuclear genome size of angiosperms is
still not fully understood. It has been repeatedly suggested, however, that genome size can …

The evolution of chromosome number and ribosomal DNA (rDNA) loci number and
localisation were studied in Onobrychis Mill. Diploid and tetraploid species, as well as two …

The karyotypes of Allium, a genus that comprises many crops and ornamental plants, are
relatively poorly studied. To extend our knowledge on karyotype structure of the genus, the …

Climate change is threatening environmental and nutritional security. In this scenario, forage
crops and their wild relatives may contribute to maintain ecosystem services and minimize …
