New insights into interspecies relationships, chromosomal evolution, and hybrid identification in the Lycoris Herb. by Yue Zhang, Shujun Zhou, Yu Chen, Pengchong Zhang, Yongchun Zhang, Junhuo Cai, Zixuan Nie, Lu Zhang

“…This study utilizes karyotype structure, genome size, and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technology to explore the chromosomal evolution and hybrid identification of Lycoris employing three approaches at the cytogenetic level. Results The findings indicate that species with a smaller basic chromosome number exhibit less asymmetry than those with a larger basic chromosome number, suggesting that species with different basic chromosome numbers may have followed different evolutionary pathways. …”
