Genome size and chromosome number of Micromeria acropolitana (Lamiaceae), a steno-endemic of Greece
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
The chromosome number 2n = 30, and nuclear DNA amount 2C = 0.79 pg, are determined for the first
time for Micromeria acropolitana, a rare and endangered species from the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. The
plant was considered extinct but rediscovered in 2006, a hundred years later. Its current status in the original
habitat is assessed, and proposals for ensuring its survival presented.
