Hello viola peoples!
I'm a new graduate student at The Oho State University in Columbus (Ohio, USA) and am developing a topic for my research thesis. Ornimental plant breeding is my line of work, and I'm quite proficient in dabbing hemerocallis (my true love), hosta, and am expanding my tastes :)
Anyway, I am interested in examining DNA fingerprints of (Ohio) naive species, in order to try and connect them to common ancestors. I am having a heck of a time finding in formation on chromosome counts of all the species I have (not all natives):
bicolor
blanda
canadensis
cornuta 'Black Magic'
cucullata
dissecta
gracilis
hastata
hederacea
hirsutala
labradorica
labradorica 'alba'
laceolata
macloskeyi
o. 'Rosinia'
palmata
palustris
papillonacea
pedata
pinnata
pubescens
rostrata
rotundifolia
'Royal Robe'
sagittata
sororia
sororia 'freckles'
striata
triloba
Any chance anyone here can help me out -either digits or maybe a reference or referral? I have checked some peer-reviewed literature, and most recently the "Chromosome Atlas of Flowering Plants" by Darlington and Wylie.
Thanks,
Dan
