Abstract

AbstractChara is an interesting genus from cytologicalview has been extensively worked out inEurope and North America, but there is a few reportson Asian Charophytes. Chromosome numberwere determined for 10 species of Charafrom 33 populations. Chromosome counts wereas follows: C. connivens, n=14, C. contraria, n=28; C. crassicaulis, n=21; Chara gymnophyllavar. gymnophylla, n=14; Chara gymnophyllavar. rohlenae, n=14; C. kirghisorum, n=14; C.kohrangiana, n=21, C. socotrensioides, n=14;C. tomentosa, n=14; Chara vulgaris var. longibracteata,n=28 and Chara vulgaris var. vulgaris,n=28. Authors made cytological studiesof Iranian charophytes in twelve taxa which 10taxa are new for Iran and five taxa are new forscience.
