Karyological studies of the genus<i>Onobrychis</i>Mill. and the related genera<i>Hedysarum</i>L. and<i>Sartoria</i>Boiss. &amp; Heldr. (Fabaceae, Hedysareae) from Turkey

Abstract

Nine chromosome counts in several genera of the tribe Hedysareae from Turkey, six species of Onobrychis, two species of Hedysarum and one species of Sartoria, were reported and all karyotypes were prepared. Six of them are new. One of the other three reports is a confirmation of polyploidy, another report is a confirmation of chromosome count and the last report is a confirmation of both chromosome count and karyotype morphology. Except for karyotype of O. altissima, all karyotypes were presented in this study first.
