Welcome to the Chilean Plants Cytogenetic Database, a comprehensive catalogue of plant cytogenetic data. Chromosome number (2n), karyotype morphology, nuclear DNA content, banding patterns and/or FISH are currently available for 499 Chilean species (95 Bryophyta, 25 Pteridophyta, four Pinophyta and 375 Magnoliophyta), all based on 110 assembled references.
