Premise Plant genomes vary in size and complexity due in part to polyploidization.
Latitudinal analyses of polyploidy are biased toward floras of temperate regions, with much …

Lippia alba is a phenotypically variable tropical shrub thought to comprise a young
autopolyploid complex. Chromosome numbers in L. alba include 2 n= 30, 38, 45, 60, and …

• Premise of the study: Tropical regions have high species diversity, and polyploidization is a
major mechanism of speciation in plants. However, few cases of natural polyploidy have …

Background Aneuploidy is associated with add or lack of individual chromosomes. The
knowledge regarding aneuploidy is still rare in wild and tropical populations. Lippia alba is a …

Polyploidy is widely recognized as a major evolutionary force in plants and has been
reported in the genus Lippia (Verbenaceae). Lippia alba, the most studied species, has …

Lilium lancifolium, the tiger lily, constitutes a polyploid complex with both diploids
(reproduced by seeds and bulbils) and triploids (propagated exclusively via bulbils). An …

In this paper we assess the impact of polyploidy and hybridization in the Bouteloua
curtipendula species complex (BCC). The BCC is a monophyletic group of perennial …

The genus Lippia (Verbenaceae) includes about 200 species mainly distributed in the
Neotropical region. In Colombia, situated in northern South America, Lippia origanoides …

Lippia alba (Verbenaceae) is an aromatic shrub recently described as a new tropical
polyploid species with five distinct chromosome numbers (2 n= 30, 38, 45, 60, and 90) with 2 …

Abstract Background The genus Limonium Miller comprises annual and perennial
halophytes that can produce sexual and/or asexual seeds (apomixis). Genetic and …
