Cover Story: Cytogenetic studies have provided valuable insights into chromosomal diversity and evolution within the genera Chamorchis, Dactylorhiza s.l., Gymnadenia s.l., Neotinea s.l., Orchis s.str., and Platanthera, belonging to the subtribe Orchidinae (Orchidaceae). Cytogenetic analyses have demonstrated their importance as a means of unravelling the intricate chromosomal attributes and evolutionary pathways present within these genera. Our investigation confirmed a variation in the distribution of heterochromatin and repetitive DNA sequences among species belonging to Dactylorhiza s.l., Neotinea s.l., and Orchis s.str. These variations also potentially contribute to the diversification of these species. Furthermore, constitutive heterochromatin was observed in the species Orchis mascula, suggesting epigenetic phenomena. View this paper
