Re: [aroid-l] Hybrids and doubling chromosomes


Dear Zach:

	Are you referring to Chromosome number?  In the diploid condition
there is quite a lot of variation, including 12, 20, 30 but 30 is a very
common chromozome number in most genera.  There are papers which survey the
chromosome numbers for the whole family.

Petersen, G.  1989.  Cytology, systematics and chromosome numbers of
Araceae.  Nord. J. Bot. 9: 119-166.

___________.  1993.  New chromosome numbers in Araceae.  Willdenowia 23:
239-244.

___________.  1993b.  Chromosome numbers of the genera of Araceae.
Aroideana 16: 37-46.
