Karyological data of 47 accessions of 28 Artemisia (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) species from Iran, with first new reports for Iranian populations and first absolute counts in three species

Assessment of Iranian endemic Artemisia khorassanica : karyological, genome size, and gene expressions involved in artemisinin production

“…that in our 18 A. khorassanica population was 3.70 µm. This indicates smaller chromosomes of this species in our study compared to that reported previously by Dolatyari et al (2013). Karyotype symmetry was more indicative of evolutionary traits in the studied A. khorassanica populations, regardless of ploidy levels.…”

“…In the latter report, one more chromosome type of "st" was reported, as well as various karyotype formulas for other studied Artemisia species. Dolatyari et al (2013) reported that the mean CL of A. khorassanica was 5.11 µm while : Nonsignificant (P > 0.05) and significant differences (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), respectively. that in our 18 A. khorassanica population was 3.70 µm.…”

A new species of subgenus Seriphidium of Artemisia L. (Asteraceae) from Turkey

“…All of the chromosomes of this taxa were determined as median centromeres and the karyotype formula was found to be 36 m (Figures 8 and 9; Table 2). The chromosome numbers of A. stenocephala and A. khorassanica (closely related to A. bashkalensis) were 2n = 18, 36 (Podlech and Boder, 1974;Nishikava, 1981) and 2n = 18 (Dolatyari et al, 2013), respectively. Considering the detailed morphological features of these taxa and their distribution area, we think that this new species is not a polyploid of the other taxa mentioned.…”

New or rare data on chromosome numbers and karyomorphology of some taxa in the subgenusSeriphidium(Bess.) Rouy. (Artemisia, Asteraceae) in Turkey

“…Over the last five or six decades, many karyological and cytological studies have been performed in the genus Artemisia (Kawatani and Ohno 1964;Torrell et al 1999;Vallès and McArthur 2001;Vallès, Torrell and GarciaJacas 2001;Vallès, Torrell, Garcia-Jacas and Kapustina 2001;Kreitschitz and Vallès 2003;Rabiei et al 2003;Hoshi et al 2006;Pellicer, Garcia, Garnatje, Hidalgo, et al 2007;Naseri et al 2009;Chehregani and Hajisadeghian 2009;Chehregani et al 2010;Pellicer et al 2010;Tabur et al 2011Tabur et al , 2012Dolatyari et al 2013;Jalili et al 2013). Chromosome number is the most basic of all karyological and cytogenetic data, but is still a source of relevant information in plant systematics and evolution (Stebbins 1971;Stace 2000;Stuessy 2009;Garbari et al 2012).…”
