Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Five karyotype types were distinguished in Agavaceae.
- Observation Phormium and Dracaena karyotypes were similar despite differing basic numbers.
- Observation Nolina karyotypes resembled those of smaller chromosome complements.
- Observation Doryanthes had four long and forty-four short chromosomes.
- Mechanism Chromosome-arm translocation may link Doryanthes and Yucca-Agave karyotypes.
- Observation Yucca-Agave karyotype was clearly distinguished from three remaining Agavaceae types.
- Observation Karyotype analysis postulated five phylogenetic lines.
- Observation The karyotypes showed affinity among Liliaceae, Agavaceae and Palmae.
- Observation The karyotype results agreed with Hutchinson’s system and contradicted Engler’s.
