Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Studying the spatial distribution of cytotypes and genome size in plants can provide valuable information about the evolution of polyploid complexes. Here, the spatial distribution of cytological races and the amount of DNA in Dianthus broteri, an Iberian carnation with several ploidy levels, is investigated. METHODS: Sample chromosome counts and flow cytometry (using propidium iodide) were...
