Özet

In this study, the karyotype analyses of the four species of Quercus L. were examined. The chromosome numbers in Q. libani Olivier, Q. petraea (Mattuschka) Lieb. subsp. iberica (Steven ex Bieb.) Krassiln., Q. coccifera L. and Q. infectoria Olivier subsp. infectoria Olivier were determined as 2n=24. The karyotypes of all species consist of only metacentric chromosome pairs. Chromosome lenghts change between 0.81–2.18 in Q. libani, 0.86–1.66 in Q. petraea subsp. iberica, 0.93–1.98 in Q.coccifera and 0.91–1.96 in Q. infectoria subsp. infectoria, respectively. The karyotype analysis of these species were first time counted in Turkey. © 2008 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
