Chromosome numbers, morphological characters and isozymes of seven enzymes were studied to assess relationships between species of the Bromus diandrus-rigidus polyploid complex and the closely related species, B. sterilis. The four different cytotypes detected, 2n = 14, 28, 42 and 56, could be divided into two species: B. sterilis (2n = 14, 28) and B. diandrus (2n=42, 56) by morphological features and isozymes. The shape of the scar of rachilla segments in the floret proved to be a suitable character for distinguishing the two species, but not the chromosomal races within species. The tetraploid shared homozygous isozyme phenotypes with diploid B. sterilis at all loci, except one, suggesting that it is autopolyploid. No diagnostic isozymes could be found to distinguish between hexa- and octoploid cytotypes in the B. diandrus-rigidus complex.
