CHROMOSOME NUMBER DETERMINATIONS IN FAM. COMPOSITAE TRIBE ASTEREAE JOHN

ABSTRACT The chromosome numbers of 245 individuals representing 145 taxa as well as hybrids from 21 genera are reported. The sample includes taxa with chromosomal base numbers of .v = 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9. The following numbers are first reports for the taxa: Aster chilensis Nées, 2n = ca. 96; A. gormanii Piper, In — 9U\ A. ledophyilus var. covillei (Greene) Cronq., In = 9n; A. perelegans Neis. & Macbr., 2n = 9n; A. radulinus Gray, 2n = 18. Supernumerary chromosomes were found in Aster prenanthoides T. & G., Erigeron inornatus Gray var. inornatus, Gulierrezia sarothrae (Pursh) Britt. & Rusby, Haplopappus venetus (H.B.K.) Blake, Lessmgia nemaclada Greene, and Macheranthera commixta Greene. Key Words: Compositae, Astereae, chromosome numbers
INTRODUCTION
General cytological trends in the Tribe Astereae of the Fam. Compositae have been discussed by Raven et al. ( 1959), Turner et al. (1961), Solbriget al. (1964), Anderson et al. (1974), Grau (1977) and Semple ( 1981 ). The tribe is recognized to consist of one large group of genera with an ancestral base number of x — 9 and a second group of taxa with x — 6, 5, 4 or 3. The origins of the latter taxa are viewed as polyphyletic and derived by some workers, while they are viewed as primitive and potentially ancestral to the former group by others. The data needed to clarify the cytological history of the tribe is not yet available. The counts listed below do not support or refute any of the theories that have been put forward during the past 25 years. Names used reflect my views on tribal history which have been outlined previously (Semple, 1981). The chromosome number determinations listed below are being reported for the first time. Most are confirmations of previously published reports. The counts are being reported so that the information will be available to those doing biosystematic research on specific taxa. Strother (1972) has noted the need for large numbers of reports of chromosome numbers in biosystematic studies.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Meiotic counts were made from pollen parent cells (PPC's) fixed in the field in Carnoy's Fixative 3:1 (absolute EtOH: glacial acetic acid) and then stored in 70% EtOH under refrigeration until examined. Anthers containing PPC's were dissected out of florets and squashed in 1% acetic orcein stain. Counts were made from freshly prepared slides using a Zeiss RA Standard Microscope with phase contrast optics. Mitotic counts were made from root tip cells obtained from either seedlings or transplanted rootstocks following Semple (1978). Counts were made from freshly prepared slides as above. Vouchers for all counts are deposited in WAT. Loran C. Anderson and Lowell Urbatch assisted in identifying collections of Chrysothamnus, Ericameria, and Macronema; Guy Nesom confirmed identifications of collections of Erigeron; Géraldine Allen assisted in identifying collections of some western x — 8 species of Aster. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Chromosome number determinations from 245 collections representing 145 taxa as well as hybrids from 21 genera of the Tribe Astereae (Fam. Compositae) are listed in Table 1 below alphabetically by genus and species. About half the counts are from individuals of the genus Aster. The following are first reports for the taxa listed: Aster chilensis, 2n = ca. 96; A. gormanii, 2n = 9\\\ A. ledophyllus var. covillei, In = 9\\\ A. perelegans, 2n = 9n; A. radulinus, 2n= 18. Supernumerary chromosomes were found in the following taxa: Aster prenanthoides (x = 8), Erigeron inornatus var. inornatus (x — 9), Gutierrezia sarothrae (x — 4), Haplopappus venetus {x — 6), Lessingia nemaclada (x = 5), and Macheranthera commixta (x — 4). Supernumerary chromosomes varied in size from small 0.5 ^m dots to larger chromosomes 1-2 jum long. They were present in taxa in both the large x — 9 group and the lower base number group(s) in the tribe. Collections not otherwise indicated are those of J. and B. Semple (S & S). Key to other collectors: Br = Brammall; Bt = L. Brouillet; Ch = J. Chmielewski; K — R. Keir; R = G. Ringius; S — J. Semple.
