Journal ArticleDOI
High genetic diversity detected in the endemic Primula apennina Widmer (Primulaceae) using ISSR fingerprinting
TL;DR: Analysis of genetic diversity within and among six populations representative of the species distribution range revealed a weak but significant spatial genetic structure in P. apennina, with gene flow acting as a homogenizing force that prevents a stronger differentiation of populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic and phytochemical difference between some Indian and Italian plants of Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal
TL;DR: The results seem to confirm the hypothesis that the Italian populations of this species may not be indigenous but naturalised and due to the high withaferin A content of the Sardinian samples, these plants could be used as a source for pharmaceutical purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity in Cytisus aeolicus Guss. (Leguminosae), a rare endemite of the Italian flora
TL;DR: The observed genetic depauperation is indicative of historical factors, such as the bottleneck effect associated with migration, and the founder effect in population re-establishment, indicating that extant populations have not been established long enough for divergence to have occurred.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity of the rare and endangered meadow violet (Viola pumila Chaix) at the southern margin of its range
TL;DR: The results indicate that habitat fragmentation has not induced genetic depauperation and differentiation in the Italian stand of V. pumila; moreover, they provide evidence of past extensive outcrossing and a common evolutionary history of the examined populations.
