Abstract
In the study, analysis of scientific sources and own data on the karyotype structures of Actaea L., Anemonopsis Siebold Zucc., Beesia Balf.f. et W. W. Sm. and Eranthis Salisb. (tribe Cimicifugeae Torr. et A. Gray) was carried out. The common karyotype parameters for Actaea, Anemonopsis, and Beesia are the basic chromosome number of х = 8 and the somatic chromosome number of 2n = 16. The chromosome sets of these species usually include five pairs of large metacentric chromosomes and three pairs of shorter non-metacentric chromosomes of 2–3 morphological types (general karyotype formula is 2n = 16 = 10m + 6sm/st/t/T). The genus Eranthis exhibits a more pronounced polymorphism both in terms of chromosome number and karyotype structure. Two basic chromosome numbers has been revealed in Eranthis such as х = 8 и х = 7, while somatic chromosome numbers are 2n = 14; 16; 24; 28; 42. Moreover, most species of Eranthis are characterized by a typical karyotype structure for the tribe, including 5 metacentric and 2–3 non-metacentric chromosomes per monoploid set, however, there are a number of exceptions. The tribe Cimicifugeae is well differentiated at the chromosomal level from the phylogenetically related tribe Helleboreae DC.
