A morphometric and genetic investigation of Opuntia engelmannii population variation in Africa

2022-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Opuntia engelmannii Salm‐Dyck (Cactaceae:Opuntioideae) is a morphologically variable cactus that has invaded pasture lands in South Africa and Kenya. Biological control of invasive Opuntia species can be very successful when the correct agent is matched with the appropriate host. This research investigated the similarity (morphological and genetic) between several populations of O. engelmannii and a morphologicall...
