Abstract excerpt
Avena barbata, an autotetraploid grass, is much more widely adapted than Avena hirtula, its diploid ancestor. We have determined the 14-locus genotype of 754 diploid and 4751 tetraploid plants from 10 and 50 Spanish sites, respectively. Allelic diversity is much greater in the tetraploid (52 alleles) than in the diploid (38 alleles): the extra alleles of the tetraploid were present in nonsegregating heteroallelic...
