Article Synopsis
- Polyploidy is the primary factor causing differences in chromosome numbers within the Cynodon genus, leading to challenges in defining taxonomic boundaries and genomic similarities among species.
- This study used genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) to analyze the genomic makeup of both diploid and polyploid Cynodon species, while also exploring the presence of unreduced gametes in diploid C. dactylon pollen grains.
- The authors propose a genomic nomenclature for various Cynodon species and outline an evolutionary model suggesting potential hybridization events based on their findings and prior research.
Cynodon dactylon is characterized by taxonomic and systematic complexity, and polyploidy is one of the factors responsible for its genetic and morphological diversity. The aim of the present study was to compare karyotypes of C. dactylon cytotypes based on fluorescent banding and nuclear DNA content.
