Plant chromosomes investigation has an about 140 years-old history. A cytogenetic approach keeps being relevant to the systematics and phylogeny problem solving, although the molecular genetic methods are widely used. The comparative karyotype analysis as a part of the integrative taxonomic approach is used successfully along with morphological, molecular genetic, phytochemical, and other methods to study plants of different taxonomic groups, including fam. Ranunculaceae Juss.
