“…Cupressus sempervirens had genetic and morphological variation among populations or individuals. Two varieties were detected taxonomically as horizontalis and pyramidaris and their relationship was reported in Iran and Turkey populations (Karimi et al 2013). On the other hand a partial linkage map using molecular and morphological markers was reported in this species (Manescu et al 2011), correspondence of linkage map to the number of chromosome and chromosomal location of markers are unknown.…”

Cupressus sempervirens L. had the chromosome number of 2n=22 and its karyotype was composed of 22 metaand submeta-centric chromosomes with gradual variation in their lengths. In the chromosome complement six chromosomes had a secondary constriction at proximally interstitial region of the short arm and had CMA-bands on same positions of all secondary constrictions and neighbor regions. After silver staining six Ag-NORs appeared on nucleoli and chromosome at telophase, and at metaphase Ag-NORs appeared at the secondary constrictions of a few chromosomes. These results indicate all CMA-banded secondary constrictions have nucleolar organizing function. DAPI-bands appeared at interstitial and proximal regions of some chromosomes. A combination of chromosome morphology and fluorescent band patterns of the CMA-and DAPI-stainings can identify all pairs of homologous chromosomes. Advantage of the fluorescent bandings for comparative karyotype analysis in Cupressus is discussed.

In order to study in vitro propagation of some old Persian cypress genotypes (Cupressus sempervirens L.), embryos of twenty old cypress accessions were cultured on MS and SH media containing 100 and 200 mg L-1 myo-inositol. Germination percentage and growth parameters of produced plantlets and their hardening off were evaluated. Results showed that the highest germination percentage and germination rate was obtained with MS medium containing 100 mg L-1 myo-inositol, although no significant difference was observed with MS containing 200 mg L-1 myo-inositol and SH containing 100 mg L-1 myo-inositol. Furthermore, based on the results, the highest root length was gained with SH medium containing 200 mg L-1 myo-inositol. Germination percentage of isolated embryos and shoot length of produced plantlets were affected by genotype, so that the highest germination percentage and shoot length was obtained with KB and KT genotypes, respectively. The oldest genotype which was 4000 years old (Abarkuh cypress) showed no significant difference with other genotypes in terms of shoot and root length. In hardening-off step, first all genotypes were initially established but after 2 weeks, KJ2, KK, KSHN, KD1, KB genotypes died.
