Chromosome numbers of 50 vascular plants in South Korea

Variation or constancy in the chromosome number within taxa of different categories have been proven to be important characters for taxonomic groupings. In order to expand the current knowledge on somatic chromosome numbers of South Korean vascular plants, chromosome counts were made for 50 species...

In addition, Eupatorium japonicum Thunb. is proven to show polyploidy with tetra- and pentaploid. Among studied species, the diploids (66%) and tetraploids (24%) prevail.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2287884X16300802chromosome numbersSouth Koreavascular plants
