Three basic chromosome counts (x:5, 7 and 8) were determined in this study. It was found that T. resupinatum L. var. resupinatum, T. stellatum L. var. stellatum and T. purpureum Lois. var. purpureum have 2n: 16; T. arvense var. arvense, T. hausknechtii Boiss. var. hausknechtii and T. pauciflorum d'Urv. have 2n.14; T. hirtum has 2n:10 chromosome numbers according to the present results. All chromosomes have median point (M), median region (m) centromeres and satellites were not observed in the studied Trifolium taxa. The chromosome number and morphology of T. haussknechtii Boiss. var. haussknechtii and T. pauciflorum d'Urv. are reported for the first time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Endemic Fritillaria baskilensis Behçet., which is found only in one locality of Elazıǧ-Baskil province (Selil mountain) in East Anatolia, was karyologically examined. Chromosome numbers of Fritillaria baskilensis were determined as 2n=24. It was observed that chromosomes of the species examined had median region (m), submedian region (sm), subterminally (st), terminal region (t) and terminal point (T) centromeres. Haploid karyotype formula is 2 m + 2 sm + 3 st + 1 t + 4 T. Metaphase chromosome length ranged from 9.17 to 18.76 μm and the total haploid chromosome length was 146. 55 μm. Karyotype analysis of Fritillaria baskilensis species has been conducted for the first time by us. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
