Karyology of seven fabaceae taxa from Turkey

The paper gives an account of the results of karyological investigation of seven Fabaceae taxa from Turkey. Chromosome morphologies and chromosome numbers of taxa belonging to Spartium L., Vicia L., Trifolium Gerard & Lois.and Coronilla L. are reported. The karyotype of Coronilla scorpioides was presented for the first time. Chromosome numbers were established for Spartium junceum L. (2n = 52), Vicia peregrina L. (2n = 14), Vicia anatolica Turrill. (2n = 10), Vicia hybrida L. (2n = 12), Vicia narbonensis var. narbonensis (2n = 14), Trifolium aureum Poll. (2n = 20) and Coronilla scorpioides (L.) Koch. (2n = 12). The new data were compared with previous information karyologically. For each chromosome, the arm index was calculated and based on these data, idiograms were drawn. Chromosome characteristics investigated taxa are determined by using karyological tecniques.
