Karyological studies in Deschampsia antarctica Desv. (Poaceae)

Deschampsia antarctica Desv. (Poaceae), known as Antarctic hairgrass, is the only grass species and one of the two vascular plant species native to Antarctica and it is a valuable source for gene discovery associated with freezing-tolerance. In this work the karyotype of D. antarctica collected near...

In this work the karyotype of D. antarctica collected near Jubany Antarctic Base was reported for the first time.
