Abstract
In this paper, the study of nuclear DNA content was made in nine populations of six taxa in Vicia sect. Vicilla. 2C DNA nuclear content in this section showed significant differences beween species studied. In three infraspecific tetraploid cytotypes observed, variation was found between the highest 2C DNA amount for V. unijuga (32.45 pg) and the lowest for two populations of V. amoena (18.60 pg and 17.19 pg respectively). Those infratetraploid cytotypes in V. amoena, V. ramuliflora and V. unijuga have less DNA amount per basic genome than the conspecific diploids. It was discussed primarily that evolutionary trend of nuclear DNA amount in sect. Vicilla.
