Korpelainen H, Kostamo K
Abstract excerpt
Rumex acetosa is one of the few angiosperms that possesses sex chromosomes. The same types of abundant repetitive sequences cover both heterochromatic Y chromosomes present in males. The aim of this study was to investigate genetic variation in paternally inherited Y chromosomal DNA and in maternally inherited cpDNA, and to find out whether the examined genomic regions are suited to a phylogeographic study in R....
