In this study chromosome numbers (2n) and karyotypes of Sophora secundiflora, S. velutina
var. zimbabweensis, S. tomentosa, Styphnolobium japonicum, S. parviflorum, S.
protantherum, S. burseroides, and S. conzattii were determined. The first three species
presented 2n= 18, with a basic chromosome number of x= 9. These species had small
variations in their karyotypes and one chromosome pair with secondary constriction. The
other five species presented 2n= 28, x= 14 and their karyotypes were very similar, three …
In this study chromosome numbers (2n) and karyotypes of Sophora secundiflora, S. velutina var. zimbabweensis, S. tomentosa, Styphnolobium japonicum, S. parviflorum, S. protantherum, S. burseroides, and S. conzattii were determined. The first three species presented 2n = 18, with a basic chromosome number of x = 9. These species had small variations in their karyotypes and one chromosome pair with secondary constriction. The other five species presented 2n = 28, x = 14 and their karyotypes were very similar, three pairs showing secondary constrictions. These results agree with Sousa and Rudd's proposal to include species with 2n = 28 in the genus Styphnolobium.
