Auto- and allopolyploidy in Centaurea sect. Acrocentron s.l. (Asteraceae, Cardueae): karyotype and chromosome banding pattern analyses

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Dysploidy and polyploidy are well documented in the large genus Centaurea, especially in sect. Acrocentron and in a small group of species from the Iberian Peninsula described as sect. Chamaecyanus, closely related to Acrocentron. We have explored two interesting cases of polyploid series in both sections: the polyploid series of Centaurea toletana in sect. Chamaecyanus and the series of C. ornata group in sect. Acrocentron. We have carried out a karyological study using both classic karyotype analyses and chromosome banding with fluorochromes.
