Evolutionary cytogenetics in Americans Legumes

Chromosomic features described so far for Americans legumes are reviewed and analyzed, simultaneously with morphological and molecular characters. This is an invaluable opportunity to propose hypotheses about chromosome changes during the family divergence and speciation processes. The chromosome st...
