“…Tamura (1993) placed this clade in the subfamily Helleboroideae based on their follicular fruits (Fig. 8), a position that is not supported by our data (see also Jensen et al, 1995).…”

“…8; Johansson, 1995;Hoot, 1995). This relationship is surprising because, based on conventional taxonomic characters, these two genera have little in common phenotypically (see also Jensen et al, 1995). For example, species of Trollius have three-to five-parted leaves, follicular fruits, and a yellow flower color, while species of Adonis have finely dissected linear leaves, achenes, and various flower colors.…”

“…1832): all R-chromosome taxa. Our subfamilial classification differs from that of Jensen et al (1995) in that (1) we include Hydrastis with the Ranunculaceae, and (2) Thalictroideae Rafinesque predates Isopyroideae Tamura (Sci. Rep. Coll.…”

“…The majority constitute a group with large chromosomes of R-type and a dominant basic number of x = 8, while the second group of genera was isolated as a separate tribe, Thalictreae, with small chromosomes of T-type and the basic number x = 7. This division was confirmed on the basis of molecular, phytochemical and morphological examinations (Gregory 1941;Hoot 1995;Jensen et al 1995). In the Poaceae family, the basic number x was used by Stace (1993, chapter 5) as the taxonomic criterion to divide the family into the subfamilies Bambusoideae (x = 12) and Pooideae (x = 7).…”

The importance of cytological and cytogenetic information in the investigation of evolutionary history of species, i.e. biosystematics (cytotaxonomy) and cytogeography, is surveyed. The main issues considered are the numbers and morphology of the chromosomes, the distribution and amount of the different types of chromatin in chromosomes, nuclei at interphase stained with classical and molecular cytogenetic methods, e.g. fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC), painting chromosomes, the isolation of large DNA segments using e.g. pulse-field gel electrophoresis, and chromosome disposition in the cell nucleus. A wide ranging biosystematic interest puts emphasis with the help of cytological and cytogenetic methods on getting to know chromosome variation within the family, genus and species connected with the phenomena of hybridization and polyploidization. Chromosome variation among taxa includes differences in the morphology and numbers of chromosomes, the amount of DNA, the sizes of chromosomes, inner chromosome structure, and DNA sequence, often shown in chromosome bands or various proportions of AT and GC pairs. On this basis we can track the course of evolution among taxa and determine reciprocal relationships. One of the main aims of our work, apart from getting to know evolutionary processes, is to create a taxonomic system of organisms.

“…Based on these studies, Jensen et al (1995) put Adonis (and, tentatively, Callianthemum, not included in molecular studies) in Adonidinae, which was placed in Adonideae together with the unigeneric Trolliinae. Adonis and Callianthemum were previously placed in a separate tribe Adonideae and considered to be related to Anemoneae (Tamura, 1993(Tamura, , 1995 because they have achenes, whereas Trollius, which has follicles, was placed in Trollieae (Tamura, 1966;Wang, 1979) or Helleboreae (Tamura, 1993(Tamura, , 1995.…”
