中文摘要：

综述了芍药组植物的染色体数目、核型、Giemsa C-带和原位杂交的研究成果。核型、带型分析和原位杂交研究丰富了对染色体进化规律与机制的了解,在芍药分类和生物进化研究中得到了广泛应用。

英文摘要：

Chromosome was the object of genetic nature in the cells,and was the carrier of gene.In this paper,chromosome number,karyotype,Giemsa C band and in situ hybridization studies of Section Paeonia in Paeonia were reviewed.The above studies enriched the understanding of laws and mechanisms on chromosome evolution,and had been widely used in plant taxonomy and study of biological evolution.
