Abstract excerpt
Primula sieboldii: (E. Morren) has been a popular garden plant at least since the Edo period, about 300 years ago. We compared petal form between cultivars and wild populations in order to characterise the changes that have occurred during domestication. The comparison was made using EF-PCA analysis, which describes overall petal shape mathematically by transforming petal contour coordinates into elliptic Fourier...
