Abstract
For the first time, a comparative molecular cytogenetic study of four species of Calendula L. (Asteraceae): C. officinalis, C. stellata, C. tripterocarpa, and C. arvensis was carried out. In each species, chromosome numbers were determined: C. stellata (2n = 2х = 14), C. officinalis (2n = 4x = 32), C. tripterocarpa (2n = 2x = 30), and C. arvensis (2n = 4x = 44), and also specific chromosome localization of 45S and 5S rDNA clusters was revealed with the use of fluorescence in situ hybridization. An additional polymorphic minor 45S rDNA hybridization signal was found in the C. officinalis karyotype, which was located median in the short arm of one chromosome. The patterns of chromosome distribution of the major sites of 45S and 5S rDNA in karyotypes of the studied species confirmed the hybrid origin of C. arvensis (2n = 4x = 44) which could be a result of the introgressive hybridization of two other species: C. stellata (2n = 2x = 14) and C. tripterocarpa (2n = 2x = 30) during speciation.
