Y1 - 2000 PY - 2000 VL - 8 IS - 2 SP - 187 EP - 208 KW - Solanum KW - chromosomes KW - Karyotype KW - numerical analysis KW - protein KW - Iran DO - N2 - Biosystematic study was performed on several Solanum species native to Iran. Cytological analysis revealed presence of 2n=24,48 and 72 chromosome number in the species/populations studied. Karyotypic studies revealed the role played by polyploidy and structural changes of chromosomes during species diversification. The somatic chromosome number of S. persicum is reported for the first time. Numerical analysis of morphological characters and SDS-PAGE protein bands supported the classical taxonomic treatment of the genus, providing evidence for the species inter-relationships.   UR - https://ijb.areeo.ac.ir/article_103398.html L1 - https://ijb.areeo.ac.ir/article_103398_755177b57269ad8d0372afbb735450cd.pdf ER -
