Echinops, meiotic irregularities and abnormalities, unreduced pollen grainsAbstract
Echinops L., is a genus of Asteraceae and contains ca. 76 species in Iran. The current investigation was performed on six species and nine populations including E. cephalotus, E. chorassanicus, E. elebursessis, E. leiopolycerus, E. ritroides and E. robustus. Chiasma frequency and distribution, chromosomal association and segregation were analyzed for meiotic characters. Meiotic irregularities, unreduced chromosomes and other related abnormalities were observed in the studied species. Chromosome stickiness, laggard chromosomes as well as frequent tripolar and multipolar cell formation due to anaphase I and II failure were observed.
