Contribution to knowledge about genome size in members of the family Asteraceae from Turkey: first assessments in 17 taxa, with chromosome counts for nine taxa
In this study, we report genome size (C-values) estimated using flow cytometry for 18 taxa of Asteraceae from Turkey, 17 of which are here assessed for the first time. The studied taxa belong to the genera Achillea (one species), Anthemis (one subspecies), Tanacetum (four taxa) and Crepis (12 tax...

| Summary: | In this study, we report genome size (C-values) estimated using flow cytometry
for 18 taxa of Asteraceae from Turkey, 17 of which are here assessed for the first
time. The studied taxa belong to the genera Achillea (one species), Anthemis (one
subspecies), Tanacetum (four taxa) and Crepis (12 taxa). Additionally, chromosome
numbers of nine taxa of Crepis are provided, four counts being new reports and the
remainder confirming previous data. The 2C-values of the studied taxa range from
2.08 to 11.06 pg, which represent more than fivefold variation. The systematic and
evolutionary significance of genome size is discussed within the framework of the
results obtained in this study. |
