Genome Size Study in the Valerianaceae: First Results and New Hypotheses
Journal: Journal of Botany
Year: 2010

The purpose of this study is to provide a new focus to contribute, from the perspective of genomic evolution, towards a better understanding of the Valerianaceae evolutionary history. Chromosome numbers were determined by Feulgen staining in 24 populations of 18 species (first count for Valerianella multidentata , <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mrow><mml:mn>2</mml:mn><mml:mi>n</mml:mi><mml:mo>=</mml:mo><mml:mn>2</mml:mn><mml:mi>x</mml:mi><mml:mo>=</mml:mo><mml:mn>1
