Allopatric distribution, ecology and conservation status of the Pilosella alpicola group (Asteraceae)

Šingliarová, Barbora ; Šuvada, Róbert ; Mráz, Patrik

In: Nordic Journal of Botany, 2013, vol. 31, no. 1, p. 122–128

The Pilosella alpicola group comprises four morphologically distinct and geographically vicariant alpine taxa. We performed a thorough herbarium revision and literature survey to infer their distributional pattern(s). Pilosella alpicola s.s. occurs in the Alps in two disjunct areas: the Swiss Valais Alps and the Italian Dolomites. Historical records come also from the Austrian Alps (Gurktaler...

Allozyme variation in diploid, polyploid and mixed-ploidy populations of the Pilosella alpicola group (Asteraceae): relation to morphology, origin of polyploids and breeding system

Šingliarová, Barbora ; Chrtek, Jindřich ; Plačková, Ivana ; Mráz, Patrik

In: Folia Geobotanica, 2011, p. -

The Pilosella alpicola group includes four species (P. alpicola s.str., P. ullepitschii, P. rhodopea and P. serbica) with allopatric distributions (Alps, Balkans, Carpathians) and contrasting cytotype patterns (diploid, diploid-polyploid and polyploid species). Whereas diploid taxa (P. ullepitschii and P. serbica) reproduce sexually, the mode of...

Geographical parthenogenesis, genome size variation and pollen production in the arctic-alpine species Hieracium alpinum

Mráz, Patrik ; Chrtek, Jindřich ; Šingliarová, Barbora

In: Botanica Helvetica, 2009, vol. 119, no. 1, p. 41-51

Hieracium alpinum L. (Asteraceae) is an arctic-alpine species distributed throughout Europe with both diploid and triploid cytotypes. We determined the ploidy levels of plants from 23 populations from Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Finland, Italy, Norway, Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland and Ukraine. Data showed a non- overlapping pattern of cytotype distribution: sexually reproducing diploids...

Loss of genetic diversity in isolated populations of an alpine endemic Pilosella alpicola subsp. ullepitschii : effect of long-term vicariance or long-distance

Šingliarová, Barbora ; Chrtek, Jindřich ; Mráz, Patrik

In: Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2008, vol. 275, no. 3-4, p. 181-191

Pilosella alpicola subsp. ullepitschii (Asteraceae) is a strictly allogamous, diploid Carpathian endemic. Its distribution range comprises two areas separated by about 600 km. While in the Western Carpathians (Slovakia and Poland) the taxon occurs in numerous sites, only four localities of man-made origin are known from the Eastern and Southern Carpathians (Romania). We used allozyme markers...

Chromosome numbers and mode of reproduction in Picris hieracioides s.l. (Asteraceae), with notes on some other Picris taxa

Slovák, Marek ; Šingliarová, Barbora ; Mráz, Patrik

In: Nordic Journal of Botany, 2007, vol. 25, no. 3-4, p. 238 - 244

Chromosome numbers for 88 plants of Picris hieracioides s.l. originating from 32 localities from Austria, Andorra, Croatia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia and Spain are reported. All analysed plants were diploid, with 2n=2x=10. In addition to P. hieracioides s.l., we also found diploidy (2n=2x=10) in P. nuristanica from Kirgizia and P. japonica from Japan. Our data confirmed previously...
