TI  - Cytogenetic characterization of Lippia alba and Lantana camara (Verbenaceae) from 
      Brazil.
PG  - 317-21
AB  - The aim of this work was to determine the cytogenetic characteristics of 
      Brazilian Lippia alba (Mill) N. E. Brown and Lantana camara Plum. that could be 
      useful for future characterization of these genera. Our analyses revealed that 
      Li. alba has 2n=30 chromosomes consisting of ten metacentric and five 
      submetacentric pairs, while La. camara has 44 metacentric chromosomes. The large 
      blocks of heterochromatin seen in both species suggest an apomorphic condition. 
      Six 45S rDNA sites were detected in both species by fluorescence in situ 
      hybridization (FISH). Two and four 5S rDNA sites were observed in Li. alba and 
      La. camara, respectively. Meiotic analysis revealed a normal chromosomal 
      behaviour. The number of chromosomes and the presence of 45S rDNA and 5S rDNA 
      sites do not exclude a possible polyploid origin. The cytogenetic differences 
      between La. camara and Li. alba may be useful markers for differentiating these 
      species.
