Abstract A survey of all the 154 scientific publications of Emilio Battaglia (1917–2011) is presented, grouped in three main research interests – plant embryology, cytogenetics in plants and cytological terminology – plus other less relevant contributions. Battaglia's past and present role in these disciplines is briefly discussed, in the light of current research on these topics, partly reviewed also in other contributions of the present Plant Biosystems issue.

The facultative nature of apomixis allows for reversal to sexuality and further speciation of paleopolyploid lineages, which may facilitate diversification of polyploid complexes and evolution in angiosperms.
The association between polyploidy and clonal reproduction in the angiosperms.
- Biology
- 2018
The relationship between polyploidy and clonal reproduction in the angiosperms is explored in the first studies to determine how wholegenome duplication (WGD) directly affectsClonality in this species, and the studies presented in this thesis are some of the first to explore the relationship in-depth.
The evolution of apomixis in angiosperms: A reappraisal

The facultative nature of apomixis allows for reversal to sexuality and further speciation of paleopolyploid lineages, which may facilitate diversification of polyploid complexes and evolution in angiosperms.
“x” is not a bias, but a number with real biological significance
- Biology

It is shown that criticism of the use of the symbol “x” to denote basic chromosome number in cytotaxonomy is superfluous and is based on historical confusion between the concepts ofBasic chromosome number (or monoploid chromosome number) and ancestral basic chromosomes number.
Karyological and morphological investigations on a Hieracium putatively endemic to the National Park “Foreste Casentinesi, M. Falterona, Campigna” (northern Apennines, central Italy)
- Biology
- 2013
This study confirms in the northern Apennines a trend pointed out in other central and southern European mountain areas: the core taxon is surrounded by tetraploid apomictic lineages that show some morphological characters of other Hieracium species; in the case of H. villosum Jacq.
Genomic in situ hybridization analysis between Rubus coreanus and its relatives in Rubus (Sect. Idaeobatus)
- Biology
- 2016
Results indicated that R. coreanus and R. parvifolius shared many repeat sequences, and it could be deduced that the genome of R.Parviflius was most closely related to that of R.'s coreanus.

The authors demonstrate the advantages of molecular cytogenetic techniques in resolving relationships between endemic and related species, leading to a more precise categorisation, especially in the absence of polyploidy.

Ch Chromosome numbers and nuclear DNA content are among the most reliable and practical characters for cytotaxonomical analyses involving a large number of species, whereas chromosome mapping with molecular probes is more recommended for a restricted number of Species.

Sometimes one or more nuclei of the eight-nucleate stage do not take part in the last division, and thus final stages arise with fifteen, fourteen, or thirteen nuclei (Pyrethrum parthenifolium subtypes 15-, 14-, 13-nudeate).
