Abstract excerpt
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Although the potential for gene flow between species with large differences in chromosome numbers has long been recognized, only few studies have thoroughly investigated in situ hybridization across taxa with different ploidy levels. We combined morphological, cytological, and genetic marker data with pollination experiments to investigate the degree, direction, and spatial pattern of...
