Abstract

Mitotic chromosomes of 13 species from four sections (Cracca, Ervillia, Ervum and Variegata) of the genus Vicia subgenus Vicilla were studied. Chromosome numbers of two species: V. armena, (2n=10) and V. multijuga (2n=10) are reported for the first time. 2n=14 for V. ciceroidea is a new count for this species, the previous report was 2n=28. Karyological data are presented for all the studied species. The chromosomes of all species were mainly metacentric to submetacentric. Based on Stebbines karyotype classification, the studied Vicia species were placed in three classes: 2A, 3A and 1B. V. monantha had the most symmetrical karyotype and could be considered more primitive than other studied species. Five species namely V. armena, V. aucheri, V. akhmaganica, V. persica and V. variegata showed 2n= 10 chromosomes and also had similar karyotype characters.

Abstract [Persian]

بررسی میتوزی 13 گونه از 4 بخشه ( Cracca, Ervillia, Ervum و Variegata ) از جنس .Vicia L زیر جنس Viciella مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. عدد کروموزومی دو گونه: V. armena (2n=10), V. multijuga (2n=10) برای اولین بار در جهان گزارش می شوند. 2n=14 برای V. ciceroiseae شمارش جدیدی برای این جنس است. گزارش قبلی برای این گونه 2n=28 بود. اطلاعات کاریولوژیکی برای تمام گونه‌های مورد مطالعه در این تحقیق ارائه شده است. کروموزوم‌ها در همه گونه‌ها بیشتر متاسنتریک و ساب متاسنتریک بودند. بر اساس طبقه‌بندی کاریوتایپی استبینز گونه‌های ماشک در سه رده قرار گرفتند: 2A, 3A و 1B. V. monantha متقارن ترین کاریوتایپ را داشته و می‌تواند ابتدایی‌تر از سایر گونه‌ها مورد ملاحظه قرار گیرد. پنج گونه V. armena, V. aucheri, V. akhmaganica, V. persica و
 V. variegata نه تنها عدد کروموزومی 2n= 10 را نشان می‌دهند بلکه ویژگی‌های کاریوتایپی مشابهی دارند.
