Variation and geographical distribution of ploidy levels inPennisetum sectionBrevivalvula (Poaceae) in Burkina Faso, Benin and southern Niger

Abstract

Pennisetum sect.Brevivalvula is a species complex characterized by polyploidy and apomixis. Ploidy level was assessed by DAPI-flow cytometry for 304 plants of the section, originating from Burkina Faso, Benin and southern Niger. The results were confirmed for 54 plants based on chromosome counts. The samples show four euploidy levels (with x = 9) distributed among five species:P. hordeoides (2n = 36, 54),P. pedicellatum (2n = 36, 45, 54),P. polystachion (2n = 18, 36, 45, 54),P. setosum (2n = 54), andP. subangustum (2n = 18, 36, 54). The geographical distribution of these ploidy levels seems related to major vegetation zones present in Africa. Diploid populations ofP. polystachion andP. subangustum were found in the Banfora area, in Burkina Faso.
