(Brassicaceae) and grown naturally in Turkey were conducted. These taxa are <i> S. officinale </i> (L.) Scop., <i>S </i>. <i>runcinatum </i> Lag. ex DC. and <i>S </i>. <i>orientale </i> L. The somatic chromosome number of 2n = 14 was reported for all species. Total chromosome lengths are between 1.33 and 2.43 µm in <i>S. officinale </i>, 1.30 and 2.48 µm in <i>S </i>. <i>orientale </i>, 1.02 and 2.18 µm in <i>S </i>. <i>runcinatum </i>. The karyotypes are as follows: <i>S </i>. <i>officinale </i> consists of 12m + 2sm, <i>S. orientale </i> <span style="margin:0px;">consists of 10m + 4sm and <i> S </i> </span>. <i>runcinatum </i> consists of 10m + 4sm <span style="margin:0px;"> </span>chromosome pairs. <i>S. runcinatum </i> is the most asymmetrical karyotype based on all index values. </span> <br />}, number={1}, publisher={Abdullah KAYA}
