Tribe Camelineae belongs to the important plant family of
crucifers (Brassicaceae). Although it includes the most
important model plant organism Arabidopsis thaliana, the most
of the tribe’s species remain practically unexamined.
Brassicaceae is the only plant family for which the method of
comparative chromosomal painting (CCP) is feasible in large
scale. This method is used to unveil a probable genome
evolution for investigated speices. In this diploma thesis,
karyotype structures of four Camelineae species are introduced
as they were reconstructed with CCP. These were compared with
the Ancestral Crucifer Karyotype (ACK). Analysis of the
karyotype structures provides possible directions of the
chromosome evolution in the tribe Camelineae.
