Abstract

Mitotic chromosome numbers are reported for ten accessions belonging to six Allium species. Basic chromosome number of all species was x = 8. Allium lenkoranicum Miscz. ex Grossh., A. rubellum M. Bieb., A. scabriscapum Boiss., A. stipitatum Regel. as well as A. viride Grossh. were diploids and A. atroviolaceum Boiss. was tetraploid. Chromosome count of A. lenkoranicum (2n = 2x = 16) is reported here for the first time.

Abstract [Persian]

شمارش کروموزومی میتوزی 10 جمعیت متعلق به شش  گونه ازسرده پیاز گزارش می‌گردد. تعداد کروموزوم پایه همه گونه‌ها x = 8 بود. گونه‌های Gross. Allium lenkoranicum Miscz. ex A. rubellum M. Bieb..، A. scabriscapum Boiss..، A. stipitatum Regel. و همچنین A. viride Grossh.. دیپلوئید و A. atroviolaceum Boiss. تتراپلوئید بودند. شمارش کروموزومی A. lenkoranicum   (2n = 2x = 16)  نخستین گزارش برای این گونه است.
