Abstract

Chilean Plants Cytogenetic Database (CPCD) is a resource available online in electronic format, providing a cytogenetics catalog for continental and insular Chilean plants that are representative of the floras of the Southern Cone. In the last update carried out in 2021, we increased the cytogenetic data for 499 Chilean native species, and from here on we will include a new section with chromosome number data for 683 exotic species classified as invaders in Chile. Aspects on the coverage, features, and uses of the CPCD are presented here, including background information accumulated since its inception in 2010 to the present. With the new update, the database currently stores cytogenetic information for species belonging to the divisions Bryophyta, Pteridophyta, Pinophyta, and Magnoliophyta, thus contributing to the largest community resource on plant cytogenetics in the world.

Keywords: Chilean exotic plants; Chilean native plants; Chromosome number; Karyotype.
