Karyotype characterization and comparison of three hexaploid species of Bromus Linnaeus, 1753 (Poaceae)

Abstract: Chromosome morphometry and nuclear DNA content are useful data for cytotaxonomy and to understand the evolutionary history of different taxa. For the genus Bromus Linnaeus, 1753, distinct ploidy levels have been reported, occurring from diploid to duodecaploid species. The geographic distribution of Bromus species has been correlated with chromosome number and ploidy level. In this study, the aims were to determine the nuclear genome size and characterize the karyotype of the South American Bromus species: Bro… Show more

“…The following combination of characters distinguishes Bromus from other grass genera: sheaths connate for most of their length, awns subterminal when present, ovary apices with hairy bilabiate appendages, and simple starch grains ( Smith, 1970 ). The genus has considerable variation in chromosome size, genome size, ploidy type, and ploidy level, which ranges from 2 n = 14 to 2 n = 112, with a base chromosome number of x = 7 ( Stebbins, 1981 ; Armstrong, 1991 ; Tuna, Vogel & Arumuganathan, 2005 , 2006 ; Klos et al, 2009 ; Sadeghian, Jafari & Hatami, 2010 ; Keshavarzi, Direkvandi & Khoshnood, 2016 ; Artico et al, 2017 ). Hybridization has played a role in the genus’s diversification and evolution.…”
