Abstract excerpt
The genus Plantago (Plantaginaceae) in New Zealand comprises species that can be difficult to delimit and contains a wide range of ploidy levels from diploid to 16-ploid. To investigate whether there have been changes in genome size associated with polyploid events and whether pollen and guard cell size can be used as an initial guide to identify polyploids, we have used flow cytometry with propidium iodide as...
