Abstract

In this study, karyotypes of four species of the genus Quercus (Quercus infectoria subsp. boissieri (Reuter) O. Schwarz, Q. pubescens Willd., Q. robur L. and Q. vulcanica (Boiss & Heldr. Ex) Kotschy) sampled in Turkey were determined. Each analysed species had the same chromosome number with 2n = 24, all of them were metacentric. Although the chromosome numbers of studied taxa were compatible with previous studies, some differences were determined at the intra-specific level. The endemic species Q. vulcanica were analysed for the first time in this study.
