Abstract
Vicia amirensis has pollen grain with swollen mesocipium, terete style, abaxially sprouting stylar hairs and globes stigma, differing from other five species,V. amoena, V. japonica, V. pseudo-orbus, V. ramuliflora, V. unijuga andV. venosa, in sect.Vicilla of Kupicha’s System. This result further support taxonomic treatmentV. amurensis proposed by Endo and Ohash. The chromosome numbers of 64 populations and karyotypes of 15 populations for sect.Vicilla and sect.Amurense were observed.V. amurensis andV. psendo-orbus have similar karyotype features such as the same karyotype symmetry, comparable chromosome size and the same type, of Sat-chromosomes, and thereforeV. amurensis in seet.Amurense is assumed to be closely related toV. japonica in sect.Vicilla. The primary study of nuclear DNA amount was carried out on nine populations of six taxa in sect.Vicilla in China. It is primarily discussed that evolutionary trend of karyotype, nuclear DNA amount in sect.Vicilla and geographic distribution of different ploidy cytotypes.
