“Chromosome Botany” is the organ journal of the International Society of Chromosome Botany (ISCB) and is a periodical devoted to the publication of original researches to study correlation between botanical function and phenomenon and chromosome and their nuclear DNA and furthermore total molecular genomic DNA by methodologies of molecular sequencing, molecular systematic, molecular cytogenetics, microscopic and electron microscopic observations as well as the traditional, orthodox aspects.
The Society is established for the purposes of the progresses in researches and technologies, international exchanges and collaborations of personnels, enlightenment and education of our original knowledges in world-wide chromosome botany.
