Genomic Admixture Analysis in European Populus spp. Reveals Unexpected Patterns of Reproductive Isolation and Mating
Christian Lexer,Christian Lexer,Jeffrey A. Joseph,Marcela van Loo,Thelma Barbará,Thelma Barbará,Berthold Heinze,Dénes Bartha,Stefano Castiglione,Michael F. Fay,C. Alex Buerkle +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that reproductive isolation between these species is much stronger than previously assumed but this cannot prevent the introgression of neutral or advantageous alleles, and unexpected genotypic gaps exist between recombinant hybrids and their parental taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogenetics of Limonium and related genera (Plumbaginaceae): biogeographical and systematic implications
TL;DR: Phylogenetic relationships within Limonium (Plumbaginaceae) are evaluated using sequence data from three plastid regions and some groups restricted to particular areas can be recognized, and their synapomorphies are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution and temporal diversification of western European polyploid species complexes in Dactylorhiza (Orchidaceae)
Yohan Pillon,Michael F. Fay,Mikael Hedrén,Richard M. Bateman,Dion S. Devey,Alexey Shipunov,Alexey Shipunov,Michelle van der Bank,Michelle van der Bank,Mark W. Chase +9 more
TL;DR: Combining the degree of concerted evolution in ITS alleles (thought to reflect gene conversion) with inferred parentage provides support for a quadripartite classification of western European allopolyploid dactylorchids according to their respective parentage and relative dates of origin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybridization and introgression across different ploidy levels in the Neotropical orchids Epidendrum fulgens and E. puniceoluteum (Orchidaceae).
Fábio Pinheiro,Fábio de Barros,Clarisse Palma-Silva,Diogo Meyer,Michael F. Fay,Rogério Mamoru Suzuki,Christian Lexer,Christian Lexer,Salvatore Cozzolino +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a broad-scale survey of molecular variation was carried out between two orchid species with different ploidy levels: Epidendrum fulgens (2n =2 x = 24 chromosomes) and E. puniceoluteum ( 2n =4 x = 52 chromosomes).
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of nuclear DNA content (C-value) on the quality and utility of AFLP fingerprints.
TL;DR: It is proposed that for known polyploids, genome size is a more useful indicator than the 1C-value in deciding which AFLP protocol to use, and knowledge of ploidy (allowing estimation of genome size) and C-value are both important.
