Abstract
Bu çalışmada, Centaurea pseudoscabiosa türüne ait alt taksonların altı popülasyonunun karyotipleri aseto-orcein yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Tüm popülasyonlar aynı kromozom sayısına (2n=22) ve temel kromozom sayısına (x=11) sahiptir. Alt taksonların karyotipleri C. pseudoscabiosa subsp. pseudoscabiosa ve subsp. araratica 22m, C. pseudoscabiosa var. sipikorensis, 20m+2sm ve C. pseudoscabiosa subsp. glehnii 16m + 6sm olarak tespit edilmiştir. Alt taksonların karyolojik özelliklerini değerlendirmek için beş kantitatif asimetrik indeks kullanılmıştır. Asimetri indekslerine göre, C. pseudoscabiosa subsp. glehnii en asimetrik kromozomlara sahiptir (CVCI:10, AI:1.8). Taksonomik açıdan karyolojik veriler Centaurea pseudoscabiosa’nın önceki tür altı sınıflandırmasını doğrulamaktadır. Ayrıca, karyolojik sonuçlar Türkiye Florası’nda sinonim olarak kabul edilen C. pseudoscabiosa var. sipikorensis alt türünün yeniden canlandırılmasını önermektedir.
