The chromosome numbers and karyotypes of five species of the genus Bellevalia distributed in Turkey were analyzed. These taxa are B. anatolica B. Mathew & Özhatay, B. fominii Woronow, B. kurdistanica Feinbrun, B. rixii Wendelbo, B. turcica Pınar & Eroğlu. Three of them (B. anatolica, B. rixii and B. turcica) are endemic in Turkey. The chromosome numbers of all studied taxa were determeined as 2n=2x=8. Haploid chromosome lengths varied from 57.78 µm (B. fominii) to 68.17 µm (B. anatolica) among species. Karyotype analysis showed that Bellevalia taxa generally have median (m), submedian (sm), and subterminal (st) chromosomes, but not subterminal chromosomes in B. fominii species.

The somatic chromosome numbers and karyotypes were examined in five Bellevalia taxa including two endemic species of B. chrisii and B. gracilis distributed in Turkey. The chromosome numbers were determined as 2n=2x=8 in all studied taxa [B. chrisii Yıldırım & B. Şahin sp. nov., B. glauca (Lindl.) Kunth., B. gracilis Feinbrun, B. longipes Post, B. sarmatica (Pallas ex Georgi) Woronow]. The karyotype formula was determined as 2m+sm+st in B. chrisii and B. longipes, 3m+st in B. glauca, B. gracilis and B. sarmatica. The findings for each of the analyzed taxa are compared with the results of previous studies.

The somatic chromosome numbers and karyotypes were examined in seven species of genus Centaurea L. distributed in Turkey. The chromosome numbers were determined as 2n=2x=16 in C. behen L. and C. solstitialis L.; 2n=2x=18 in C. cynarocephala Wagenitz and C. agregata Fisch. & Mey. ex DC. ssp. agregata; 2n=2x=20 in C. iberica Trev. ex Sprengel; 2n=2x=26 in C. balsamita Lam.; 2n=4x=36 in C. virgata Lam. All of the chromosomes had centromeres at median point (M), median region (m), and submedian region (sm). Satellite chromosomes (sat-chromosomes) were observed only in C. virgata. The findings for each of the analyzed taxa are compared each other and with the results of previous studies.

Cyanus (Asteraceae) cinsine ait Cyanus depressus (M. Bieb.) Soják türü karyolojik ve palinolojik yönden incelendi. 2011 yılında Elazığ'daki doğal habitatından toplanan türün temel kromozom sayısı 2n=16 olarak tespit edildi. Türe ait kromozomların median (m) ve submedian (sm) sentromerli olduğu gözlendi. Palinolojik çalışmalar sonucunda polen şekli subprolat, apertürleri tricolporat, ornemantasyonun ise skabrate olduğu belirlenerek, gerekli ölçümler yapıldı

Centaurea derderiifolia Wagenitz., Centaurea drabifolia Sm. subsp. floccosa (Boiss.) Wagenitz & Greuter and Centaurea kotschyi (Boiss. & Heldr.) Hayek var. floccosa (Boiss.) Wagenitz, which are endemic taxa from Turkey belonging to Centaurea sect. Cheirolepis, were subjected to morphological, karyological and palynological investigations. The somatic chromosome numbers, pollen morphology and detailed morphometric properties were examined. The somatic chromosome numbers were determined as 2n = 2x = 36 in C. derderiifolia, C. kotschyi var. floccosa, and C. drabifolia subsp. floccosa. Karyotype analysis indicated that chromosomes of these Centaurea taxa generally have median region (m), submedian region (sm) and rarely median point (M) karyotypes. The pollen morphology of these endemic taxa of the genus Centaurea was investigated by light and scanning electron microscopy. The pollen grains of the examined species are mainly isopolar and radially symmetric, subprolate, tricolporate. Tectum ornamentation is scabrate and scabrate-perforate, amb triangular. The pollen grains of all taxa studied are 3-zonocolporate. The colpus is usually long, acute at ends and with smooth membrane. Pollen grains belonging to Cheirolepis section reveal homogeneity in their characters.
