“…-This is characteristic of relatively primitive section Cracca (see KUPICHA 1976;HANELT and METTIN 1989;MAXTED et al 1991), and has been observed in six species with most primitive chromosome number (2n = 2x=14) (see RAINA and REES 1983(2). The present authors suggest that the submedian chromosome with a prominent satellite on the long arm constitutes the basic type of nucleolar chromosome in the genus.…”

“…MENSINKAI (1940) considered it as the secondary balanced condition. In Vicia there is evidence to suggest that major cytogenetic differentiation and/or structural divergence of karyotypes is partly due to hybridization, and segmental interchanges (SCHAFER 1973;ROLLINGS and STAGE 1974;LADIZINSKY and TEMKIN 1978;LADIZINSKY 1981;YAMAMOTO 1986;LIU et al 1988;RAINA et al 1989;HANELT and METTIN 1989) by the complete elimination of heterozygotes and establishment of homozygotes. As a consequence of such event(s) it is therefore, not surprising to find numerical variations in the nucleolar chromosomes of Vicia species.…”

“…3, inversion in the nucleolar arm also seems to have contributed to the structural changes. While details about the chromosome complements of the various species are not j relevant here, mention may be made that chromosomal repatterning especially pericentric inversion and translocation have as a whole played a very important role in the divergence and evolution of the Vicia species (RAINA and REES 1983a, b;RAINA et al 1989;RAINA 1990;HANELT and METTIN 1989;LADI-ZINSKY and TEMKIN 1978;LADIZINSKY 1978;ROLLINGS and STAGE 1974).…”

“…The genus Vicia, an important member of legume family, includes about 166 species (ALLKIN et al 1986) out of which 40 species are of considerable economic importance (HARLAN 1956;KUPICHA 1976;HANELT and METTIN 1989). Unlike many plant genera (STEBBINS 1950(STEBBINS , 1971VED BRAT 1965;JOHN and LEWIS 1968;RAINA and KHOSHOO 1971;RAINA et al 1989) the genus Vicia carries structural alterations in the chromosomes on a very large scale (YAMA-MOTO 1973;RAINA and REES 1983a;RAINA et al 1989;RAINA 1990;MAXTED et al 1991).…”

SUMMARY -The nucleolar chromosomes in the genus Vicia usually comprise one or rarely two pairs of the complement in the diploid (2n= 10, 12, 14; x = 5, 6, 7) taxa. Barring V. anatolica nucleolar chromosomes in complements of various species have one secondary constriction and one satellite each. In V. anatolica (2n = 2x-10) one of the two nucleolar chromosome pairs contained two secondary constrictions and two satellites. The nucleolar chromosomes in Vicia species show substantial variation, in satellite size from very minute to highly conspicuous, in the location of primary and secondary constrictions from terminal to mid region, and in the size of mid arm from very small to about 90 per cent of the total chromosome size. On the basis of proportionate size of the three stainable components, the nucleolar chromosomes in Vicia species have been classified into eighteen distinct types. The comparative morphology of the nucleolar chromosomes shows that interchanges including Robert-sonian fusion, deletion and/or inversion have mainly contributed to their divergence and evolution. Overall, the nucleolar chromosome variation showed a good correlation with the taxonomic classification. The present results provide probably the first example of an astonishing array of diversity in the form and shape of nucleolar chromosomes within a genus.

SummaryThe phylogenetic relationships among 67 Vicia species from Eurasia were studied in relation to Trifolium montanum on the basis of 91 morphological characters. The characters were coded as multistate, 17 were treated as ordered. In subgenus Vicia, V. sepium and V. oroboides form a separate taxon, section Sepium, into which V. grandiflora should be included. Separation of V. lathyroides and V. cuspidata into a distinct section Lathyroides is supported. Placement of V. mollis into section Hypechusa is supported, however, treatment of V. hyrcanica and V. noeana in a separate taxon, series Hyrcanicae, is not supported and needs further study. Joining of V. faba to the Narbonensis group is well supported. In subgenus Cracca, sections Vicilla and Cassubicae appear monophyletic when V. amoena is moved from section Vicilla to section Cassubicae. Section Variegatae does not appear monophyletic, as V. argentea and V. canescens, although closely connected, belong to section Cracca.The present analysis supports separation of the Ervoid group (V. tetrasperma, V. tenuissima, V. pubescens, and V. caesarea) into an independent subgenus, subgenus Ervum; the position of V. hirsuta remains disputable. Therefore, division of Vicia into three subgenera is supported.
