Chromosome numbers and meiotic behavior in some species of Asteraceae from high altitudinal regions of Kashmir Himalayas
Disparity or continuity in the chromosome count within taxa of various categories has been verified to be an imperative character for taxonomic classification. Male meiotic studies in 64 species (161 accessions) of composits from geographically isolated regions were examined in detail in order to up...

description |
Disparity or continuity in the chromosome count within taxa of various categories has been verified to be an imperative character for taxonomic classification. Male meiotic studies in 64 species (161 accessions) of composits from geographically isolated regions were examined in detail in order to update the existing knowledge of meiotic chromosome numbers of composits from the outer part of the Himalayas. Myriactis javanica (2n = 36) and Tanacetum nubigenum (2n = 36) have been counted chromosomally for the first time at the world level. Besides, Koelpinia linearis (2n = 36), Ajania fruticulosa (2n = 18), Crepis flexuosa (2n = 14), and Tanacetum gracile (2n = 18) have been analyzed chromosomally for the first time from India. New intraspecific diploid/polyploid cytotypes are added for Artemisia desertorum (2n = 6x = 54), Carduus nutans (2n = 4x = 16), Erigeron annuus (2n = 2x = 18), Leontopodium jacotianum (2n = 4x = 48), Pentanema indicum (2n = 6x = 54), Scorzonera virgata (2n = 2x = 16), and Tragopogon pratensis (2n = 2x = 12).
