Flow cytometry (FCM) is currently the most widely‐used method to establish nuclear DNA
content in plants. Since simple, 1‐3‐parameter, flow cytometers, which are sufficient for most …

Pollen grains are the male gametophytes in a seed‐plant life cycle. Their small, particulate
nature and crucial role in plant reproduction have made them an attractive object of study …

Simple Summary The genus Sorbus (whitebeams, rowans, and service trees) encompasses
forest trees and shrubs characterised by exceptional diversity resulting from the interplay of …

Members of the genus Sorbus are the only endemic tree species that occur in Czechia. They
are important components of endangered plant communities. Their natural regeneration is …

Flow cytometry has emerged as a uniquely flexible, accurate, and widely applicable
technology for the analysis of plant cells. One of its most important applications centers on …

Cotoneaster integerrimus represents a multiploid and facultative apomictic system of widely
distributed mountain populations. We used flow cytometry to determine genome size, ploidy …

Polyploids with odd-ploidy levels may play an important evolutionary role as they enable
backcrosses with their parental cytotypes. We chose the ploidy-variable Senecio carniolicus …

The remarkable species diversity of the genus Sorbus is a result of polyploidization and
frequent hybridization between interacting species of different cytotypes. Moreover …

Apomixis is a difficult-to-analyse trait with a complex molecular basis and a substantive
effect on the biology of a species. Thus, apomixis is an interesting characteristic for …

Background and Objectives: Polyploidisation and frequent hybridisation play an important
role in speciation processes and evolutionary history and have a large impact on …
