CHROMOSOME NUMBERS AND KARYOTYPE ANALYSES OF SPECIES OF SUBFAMILY SALICORNIOIDEAE (CHENOPODIACEAE) FROM IRAN %K Chenopodiaceae %K Salicornioideae %K chromosome number %K Salicornia %K flora of Iran %R %X subfamily Salicornioideae (Chenopodiaceae) from Iran. In all studied accessions a basic chromosome number of x = 9 is reported. First chromosome numbers are reported for Halostachys belangeriana (2n=8x=72), Halopeplis pygmaea (2n=2x=18) and Kalidium capsicum (2n=4x=36). The species of the genus Salicornia are divided into tetraploid and diploid groups. The newly described endemic species S. persica is only tetraploid (2n=4x=36). But the diploid group (2n=2x=18) may represent three different taxa.   %U https://ijb.areeo.ac.ir/article_102810_660b2f3e81613e60fd331860979a0cfb.pdf
