| Abstract Detail
Functional Genetics/Genomics Azeez, Sekinat [1], Faluyi, Julius [2]. Karyotypic studies of four Physalis species from Nigeria. Mitotic chromosomes from root tips of four Nigerian Physalis species were investigated using standard cytogenetic methods. P. angulata has chromosome number of 2n = 48 with karyotypic formula of 2M + 5m + 16sm + 1st while P. micrantha, P. peruviana and P. pubescens showed the same chromosome number of 2n = 24 with karyotypic formulae of 1M + 1m + 9sm + 1st, 4M + 6m + 1sm + 1st and 1M + 1 m + 2sm + 8st respectively. The karyotypes show that P. angulata is more advanced when compared to the other three diploids studied.
