Abstract excerpt
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Delimitation of Amelanchier species is difficult because of polyploidy and gametophytic apomixis. A first step in unraveling this species problem is understanding the diversity of the diploids that contributed genomes to polyploid apomicts. This research helps clarify challenging species-delimitation problems attending polyploid, apomictic complexity. METHODS: We sampled 431 diploid...
