Despite the importance of polyploidy and the increasing availability of new genomic data,
there remain important gaps in our knowledge of polyploid population genetics. These gaps …

The use of DNA sequence data in plant systematics has brought us closer than ever to
formulating well-founded hypotheses about phylogenetic relationships, and phylogenetic …

Mountains of the Balkan Peninsula are significant biodiversity hotspots with great species
richness and a large proportion of narrow endemics. Processes that have driven the …

Species are the basic units of biodiversity and evolution. Nowadays, they are widely
considered as ancestor‐descendant lineages. Their definition remains a persistent …

• Premise of the study: Amelanchier polyploid apomicts differ from sexual diploids in their
more complex diversification, greater species problems, and geographic distribution. To …

• Premise of the study: Molecular phylogenies derived from all three plant genomes can
provide insight into the evolutionary history of plant groups influenced by reticulation. We …

Molecular evolution of ribosomal DNA can be highly dynamic. Hundreds to thousands of
copies in the genome are subject to concerted evolution, which homogenizes sequence …

Abstract Background and Aims Apomixis or asexual seed reproduction is a key evolutionary
mechanism in certain angiosperms providing them with reproductive assurance and …

The repetitive content of the plant genome (repeatome) often represents its largest fraction
and is frequently correlated with its size. Transposable elements (TEs), the main component …

Abstract The Hieracium and Pilosella (Lactuceae, Asteraceae) genera of closely related
hawkweeds contain species with two different modes of gametophytic apomixis (asexual …
