Ploidy level and genome size variation in the homosporous ferns Botrychium

Dauphin, Benjamin ; Grant, Jason ; Mráz, Patrik

In: Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2016, vol. 302, no. 5, p. 575–584

Recent cytological and molecular studies have investigated genome size variation and evolution in the homosporous ferns, but representatives of the Ophioglossaceae were largely overlooked, despite their evolutionary singularity. Flow cytometry analysis was performed on 41 individuals of eight species of the genera Botrychium (B.), Botrypus, and Sceptridium to estimate their ploidy level...

Allopolyploid origin of highly invasive Centaurea stoebe s.l. (Asteraceae)

Mráz, Patrik ; Garcia-Jacas, Núria ; Gex-Fabry, Emilie ; Susanna, Alfonso ; Barres, Laia ; Müller-Schärer, Heinz

In: Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2012, vol. 62, no. 2, p. 612–623

Spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe) occurs from Western Asia to Western Europe both as diploid and tetraploid cytotypes, predominantly in single-cytotype populations with higher frequency of diploid populations. Interestingly, only tetraploids have been recorded so far from its introduced range in North America where they became highly invasive. We performed phylogenetic and network analyses of...
