ResumenSe han realizado los estudios cariológicos de ocho especies del género Quercus, de las cuales cinco (Q. candicans, Q. crassifolia, Q. elliptica, Q. hintonii y Q. urbanii) pertenecen a la sección Lobatae y tres (Q. frutex, Q. obtusata y Q. rugosa) a la sección Quercus. Se indica por primera vez el número cromosómico de todas ellas excepto Q. rugosa. En todos los casos se trata de diploides (2n = 2x = 24) con cariotipos moderadamente asimétricos.

AbstractKaryotype analyses of eight species of the Quercus genus were performed and are reported here. Five species (Q. candicans, Q. crassifolia, Q. elliptica, Q. hintonii and Q. urbanii) belong to the Lobatae section and three (Q. frutex, Q. obtusata and Q. rugosa) to the Quercus section. This is the first report of the chromosome numbers of all of them except Q. rugosa, and demonstrate that they are diploid (2n = 2x = 24) and the karyotypes are moderately asymmetrical.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
