Chromosome number of Iranian angiosperms

Ten species with 12 populations from several families of Iran were studied. The investigation on chromosome number of native species of plants of Iran is the aim of this study. chromosome number of species make so important data of evolution. the seeds of plant were collected from several locations of Iran. Melica persica and Silene vulgaris have two populations. Chromosome counts of Papaver rhoeas (2n=14) and Filipendula vulgaris (2n=28) were reported for the first time from Iranian population. Silene vulgaris (2n=24), Phlomis olivieri (2n=20), Vicia armena (2n=10) and Melica persica (2n=18) were studied for the second time from Iranian populations. Tanacetum pinnatum (2n=18), Vicia persica (2n=10), Salvia hypoleuca (2n=22) and Papaver bracteatum (2n=14) were another species that investigated in this study from Iran. Data analysis was conducted by micromeasure and excel soft wares. Ideogram of each population was depicted. Karyotype formula of each population was present.so valuable data was reported.
