Abstract

Chromosome numbers of 15 species of Plantago L. of Iran were investigated. They include first counts for 2 taxa: P. stocksii Boiss. (2n=10) and P. loeflingii L. (2n=24), as well as 3 new chromosome numbers for 3 taxa: P. albicans Boiss. (2n=8 & 10), P. coronopus L. subsp. commutata Pilger. (2n=10) and P. coronopus subsp. coronopus Pilger (2n=20). Diploid chromosome numbers of the taxa investigated varied between 2n=8 and 2n=24. Our results are compared with previous records

Abstract [Persian]

اعداد کروموزومی برای 15 گونه جنس Plantago از ایران بررسی شده است. اعداد کروموزومی برای سه گونه (24n=2) P. loeflingii و (10n=2)   P. stocksiiبرای اولین بار و برای گونه (8،10n=2) P. albicans و دو زیر گونه (10n=2)  P. coronopus subsp. commutata   و (20n=2)  P. coronopus subsp. coronopusجدید می‌باشد. سطح دیپلوئیدی کروموزومی گونه‌های مطالعه شده از (8n=2) تا (24n=2) متغیر می باشد. نتایج بدست آمده با گزارشات قبلی مقایسه شده است.
