Title Of Article :
Karyological Features of Two Endemic Species for Turkey Centaurea fenzlii Reichardt. and Origanum acutidens (Hand.-Mazz.) Ietswaart
Abstract :
The chromosome number and chromosome morphology of endemic species Centaurea fenzlii and Origanum acutidens naturally growing in Turkey were investigated using karyological techniques. The specimens were collected from natural habitats in the years 2013. The basic chromosome number of Centaurea fenzlii is: x= 9 and diploid chromosome numbers were found to be 2n=18, species of Origanum acutidens basic chromosome number is: x= 15 and diploid chromosome numbers were found to be 2n=30. Chromosomes had median region (m) and submedian (sm) centromers. Karyotype analysis of Origanum acutidens endemic species has been conducted by us for the first time.
