| Description | Using flow cytometry, ploidy levels for 205 living samples of various European species of Festuca L. subg.Festuca were determined.We used succesfully flow cytometry also for ploidy level estimation of other 28 additional,1/2-2-year-old herbarium specimens.About 23 taxa and two spontaneous hybrids originating from natural populations from Austria, the Czech Republic,France,Hungary,Germany,Italy,Poland,Romania and Slovakia were studied.The following ploidy levels were documented: F.alpestris (2x); F. amethystina (4x);F.billyi (6x);F.brevipila (6x);F.carnuntina (6x);F.cinerea (4x);F.degenii (4x); F. duernsteinensis (4x);F.duvalii (4x);F.gracilior (2x);F.lemanii (6x);F.ovina subsp.guestfalica (4x);F.ovina x F.pallens (2x); F.pallens (2x,3x,4x);F.psammophila (2x);F. pseudodalmatica (4x); F.pseudovina (2x); F.rupicola (6x);F.stricta (6x);F.vaginata subsp. dominii (2x);F.vaginata subsp.vaginata (2x);F.vaginata x F.valesiaca (2x);F.valesiaca (2x);F.versicolor subsp.versicolor (2x);F.wagneri (4x). |
