Dysploidy and polyploidy trigger strong variation of chromosome numbers in the prayer-plant family (Marantaceae)

2022-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Karyotype analyses in species of the family Marantaceae (550 species, 31 genera) were conducted to shed light on the reported strong variation of chromosome number and size and the occurrence of polyploidy. Special attention was paid to the alterations in basic chromosome numbers, karyotypes and ploidy levels. Taxon sampling covered the whole distribution area of Marantaceae in Africa, Asia and America. We applied...
