Iranian Flora Chromosome Index |
Goals of the Strategic Council of Iran’s Flora Chromosome Index (IFCI)
Evaluation of the number of chromosomal and their morphology in order to:
– Determining of relationships between species;
– Using in hybridization system & production of new variation;
– Changing in ploidy levels to improve the economic properties;
– increase of Essential Oils, ….;
– Determination of species genome size for cyto-toxonomic studies and evaluation of genome size relationship with morphological, karyotypic, geographical & economical characterization of species;
– Identification of homo-ploid species & their hybrids;
– Prediction of phenotypic, physiological & ecological characteristics using genomic & Chromosomal data.
