In the present study chromosome numbers of 13 Trifolium species were determined, making a total of 155 species for which chromosome numbers have been reported. Four species which have been reported only once were confirmed. Eleven of the 17 species observed have 16 chromosomes (n = 8). T. bocconei Savi was found to have 12 chromosomes (n = 6) and T. desvauxii Boess. and Bl. was found to have 10 chromosomes (n = 5). Karyotype analyses of T. bocconei and T. desvauxii revealed that the chromosomes of each species could be differentiated on the basis of arm ratios and chromosome lengths.

Abstract. Saensouk P, Saensouk S. 2021. Diversity and cytological studies on the genus Amomum Roxb. former Elettariopsis Baker (Zingiberaceae) in Thailand. Biodiversitas 22: 3209-3218. A comprehensive diversity and cytological studies of the genus Amomum Roxb. in Thailand have not been reported. This work aims to study the diversity and cytological including chromosome numbers and karyotypes of the genus Amomum Roxb. former Elettariopsis Bakerin Thailand. Ten species of Amomum were recognized from Thailand. Nomenclatures, vernacular names, distribution, ecology, and traditional utilization are provided. Only Amomum wandokthong is widely cultivated in all parts in Thailand. Four living species, i.e. Amomum curtisii, A. monophyllum, A. trilobum, and A. wandokthong have been collected from field trips. Therefore, the somatic chromosome numbers from four species of this genus were studied from root tips. The somatic chromosome numbers of each species in this study were counted from 20 cells. The karyotype formulas were derived from measurements of the metaphase chromosomes in photomicrographs. The chromosome numbers of four species were found to be 2n = 48. Karyotypes of four species were reported to be Amomum curtisii (32m + 8sm + 8st), A. monophyllum (26m + 12sm + 10st), A. trilobum (18m + 24sm + 6st), and A. wandokthong (28m + 16sm + 4st with five visible satellites chromosomes). The chromosome numbers of A. monophyllum and A. wandokthong were reported for the first time. The karyotypes of four species were studied for the first time.

The somatic chromosome numbers are presented of 90 Begonia spp. of African, Asian and American origin, including a few of those previously listed [see H.A., 40: 1600] whose nomenclature or chromosome numbers are reconsidered. Sixteen different numbers were found, ranging between 16 and 76. The most common were 28 (26 species), 38 (10 species) and 56 (15 species). [For related work see H.A., 41: 7120.].

Optimal chromosome preparations were obtained from stimulated lymphocyte cultures with a new method based on a combination and modification of several techniques. Tilapia rendalli, T. sparrmanii and Oreochromis mossambicus have somatic chromosome numbers of 44, 42 and 44, respectively. Chromosome pairs L1 and L2 are easily identified in all the karyotypes and distinctive of the tilapias. Tilapia sparrmanii has one additional large metacentric chromosome pair(L3), which occurs concurrently with the reduction of two in the total chromosome number. The F chromosomes were divided into two groups, viz a submetacentric (sm) and a telocentric (t) group. T. rendalli has 8 sm chromosomes, while both T. sparrmanii and O. mossambicus have 6 chromosomes in the sm group. The rest of the F chromosomes were telocentric. The identification of the sex chromosomes in the karyotypes of tilapia has thus far not been possible using standard techniques.

Somatic chromosome numbers were reported for 47 accessions of Acacia (Tourn.) Miller, representing 23 species including A. albida (syn. Faidherbia albida), together with 19 accessions (11 species) of Prosopis (L.) Burkart. Microphotographs of somatic metaphases of 12 accessions and six representative idiograms are shown. Somatic numbers of different accessions of a species can be different. Somatic numbers of accessions of subgenus Acacia were predominantly 52; a few had 2n = 78 or 104. However, A. sieberana had 2n = 26 and A. nubica 2n = 56. Except for A. polycantha, which had 2n = 52, somatic numbers of subgenus Aculeiferum were invariably 26. Of the six species of subgenus Heterophyllum studied, five had 26 somatic chromosomes and one (A. holoceraceae) had 52. All the four accessions of A. albida had 2n = 26. Out of the 19 Prosopis accessions investigated, five had 56 somatic chromosomes and 14 accessions had 28. In Acacia, subgeneric and specific differentiations are probably caused by structural changes in the chromosomes, whereas differences in the degree of euploidy appear to create infraspecies. Subgenus Aculeiferum is a possible progenitor of all other taxa of Acacia and Prosopis. The study suggests that Prosopis has diverged later in geological times from a diploid ancestor (2n = 26) of Aculeiferum through centric fission of the second-largest chromosome pair.
