Ecological and evolutionary opportunities of apomixis: insights from Taraxacum and Chondrilla.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 29 Jun 2003

van Dijk Peter J

Abstract excerpt

The ecological and evolutionary opportunities of apomixis in the short and the long term are considered, based on two closely related apomictic genera: Taraxacum (dandelion) and Chondrilla (skeleton weed). In both genera apomicts have a wider geographical distribution than sexuals, illustrating the short-term ecological success of apomixis. Allozymes and DNA markers indicate that apomictic populations are highly...
