First detailed karyo-morphological analysis and molecular cytological study of leafy cardoon and globe artichoke, two multi-use Asteraceae crops


	The smallness and variable sizing of Cynara chromosomes is shown; in both panel A and B, leafy cardoon chromosome 1 has been circled as an example of the different condensation level of the same metaphase chromosomes. In A chromosome 1 is 3.2 µm, in B it is 4.3 µm (a 36% size variation). Scale bars: 5 µm.
