Nuclear DNA content in the polyploid complex Turnera ulmifolia (Turnera L., Passifloraceae)
Turnera ulmifolia constitutes a well-studied polyploid complex with allo- and autopolyploid species ranging from 2 to 8x. Flow cytometry was used to determine nuclear DNA content, and to estimate 2C- and 1Cx-values with the aim of analysing the genome size in Turnera in terms of polyploid speciation...

Flow cytometry was used to determine nuclear DNA content, and to estimate 2C- and 1Cx-values with the aim of analysing the genome size in Turnera in terms of polyploid speciation. The 2C-value and 1Cx-value were evaluated in 12 species of the T. ulmifolia complex. Nuclear DNA content was estimated by flow cytometry of nuclei stained with propidium iodide. The 2C DNA content ranged from 1.38 to 1.83 pg in diploids, from 2.67 to 3.96 pg in tetraploids, from 2.73 to 4.31 pg in hexaploids, and from 3.53 to 5.90 pg in octoploids.
