| Résumé : |
"Karyotypes, nuclear DNA amounts, and meiotic behaviour are presented for Milium effusum L. (2n = 28), Milium montianum Parl. (2n = 22), and two cytotypes of Milium vernale Bieb. (2n = 8, 10). The bimodal karyotype of M. montianum (8 large and 14 small chromosomes) is described for the first time. Evidence from C-banding and geographical distribution suggests an ancient interracial allopolyploid origin for M. effusum (2n = 28). Although M. montianum is undoubtedly allopolyploid, its parentage is unconfirmed. A strong resemblance between the M. vernale (2n = 8) karyotype and the eight large chromosomes in M. montianum suggests a common ancestry. It is possible that a diploid form of M. effusum contributed the remaining 14 chromosomes. A selective loss of DNA sequences from the smaller chromosomes during the subsequent reorganization of the allopolyploid genome may have enhanced the bimodality of the karyotype. Geographical distribution and a change in the breeding system support the direction of the change x = 5 to x = 4 in M. vernale. Allopolyploidy appears to have played a central role in the chromosome evolution and speciation of Milium.Key words: Milium (Gramineae), karyotype analysis, genome size, polyploidy, chromosome evolution."
