Cytogenetics and Flow Cytometry-based DNA Quantification in Herreria salsaparilha Martius (Herreriaceae): a Medicinal Species

Abstract: Adventitious root tips developing from base of cuttings and leaf samples of Herreria salsaparilha were used to determine the karyotype and to estimate DNA amount, respectively. Flow cytometry methodology was used with DAPI (4Ј,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) and PI (propidium iodide) as specific DNA fluorochromes, and leaf samples of Pisum sativum (9.09 pg) as an internal standard. Cytogenetic techniques determined that H. salsaparilha has 29 pairs of homologous chromosomes (2nϭ58), 12 acrocentric pairs (length va… Show more

“…Some of the species within the former Anthericaceae s.s form a well‐supported group with base chromosome numbers of x = 7,8 (Cave, 1948; Baldwin and Speese, 1951; Palomino and Romo, 1988; Bjorå et al, 2008). Karyotype information for many of the species in Behnia , Herreria , and Herreriopsis is unavailable; however, one study did show that the chromosomes of Herreria salsaparilha Mart., n = 29, exhibit a uniform but broad size distribution (1.30–10.51 µm) suggestive of fusion–fission events and potentially polyploidy (Gonçalves et al, 2007). Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge is sister to all other members of Agavoideae (Bogler et al, 2006; Pires et al, 2006; Kim et al, 2010; Steele et al, 2012; M. R. McKain et al, unpublished manuscript), and its karyotype ( n = 11) exhibits a continuous range of chromosomes sizes (Rudall et al, 1998).…”
