The genus Chrysanthemum is widely distributed throughout the world and exhibits different ploidy levels. We used flow cytometry to analyze the ploidy levels of nine species of Chrysanthemum L. collected from different regions and geographical locations in China. Three diploids from Henan and Wuhan provinces corresponded to Chrysanthe- mum lavandulifolium and two species of C. nankingense, while three tetraploids from various regions corresponded to C. indicum and two species of C. chanetii. Two hexaploids corresponding to C. vestitum were collected at Funiu moun- tain （Henan province）, and C. zawadskii was collected at Huangshan mountain （Anhui province）. We found that OTTO extraction buffer was suitable for extracting nuclei from most species, apart from C. zawadskii. Flow cytometry proved to bea simple, rapid, and highly accurate method for identifying ploidy levels in Chrysanthemum species.展开更多
A new bicyclic spiroketone was isolated from the bud of Chrysanthemum indicum L. The chemical structure was elucidated as （1R, 9S, 10S）-10-hydroxyl-8 （2＇, 4＇-diynehexylidene）- 9-isovaleryloxy-2, 7-dioxaspiro [5,...A new bicyclic spiroketone was isolated from the bud of Chrysanthemum indicum L. The chemical structure was elucidated as （1R, 9S, 10S）-10-hydroxyl-8 （2＇, 4＇-diynehexylidene）- 9-isovaleryloxy-2, 7-dioxaspiro [5, 4] decane based on the X-ray crystallography.展开更多

The relationships among the species are so close that the three sequences could only provide limited information. From the evidence presented, we suggest that: ① D.rhmobifolium be the chloroplast donor of D.vestitum (HN) with the resembling morphology and the same trnT/L IGS sequence. ② D.vestitum, a putative ancestor, may be not the chloroplast donor of garden chrysanthemums. D.lavand-ulifolium might be the chloroplast donor of the type population of D.indicum (HN) or the direct chloroplast donor of the ancient garden chrysanthemum cultivar. ③ D.zawaskii might be not the ancestor of garden chrysanthemums.展开更多
