Karyotype Asymmetry Based on the Centromere Position in Aloe vera (Liliaceae)
Öz
The centromere-targeted biotechnology applications and the chromosome engineering experiments of plant centromeres are widely used in precision synthetic plant breeding and genetically improving crops. In this respect, the centromere is the most important chromosomal region in the transition from chromosome structure to genetic engineering and biotechnology applications. The variations of centromere position and karyotype formula are common in Aloe vera and in the present study, it is focused on the karyotype asymmetry calculation by the symmetry/asymmetry index (S/AI) based on the centromeric position. The different S/AI values were calculated from 2.43 to 2.71. Despite the differences in S/AI values, Aloe vera had only one karyotype types, which was between symmetric and symmetric. As a result, it is possible that the karyological variations observed in Aloe vera can also be seen in other Aloe species. The results will provide the important contributions on the cyto- and biotechnological data of the genus Aloe.
