Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Apomictic species (with asexual seed production) make up for 20-50 % of all taxonomically recognized species in northern Europe, but the phylogenetic relationships of apomictic species and the mode of evolution and speciation remain largely unknown and their taxonomy is consequently disputed. METHODS: In the present study, plastid psbD-trnT sequences (349 accessions) and 12 nuclear...
