Karyotypes, heterochromatin distribution and rDNA patterns in South American Grindelia (Asteraceae)

Grindelia is a genus with a complex evolutionary history with reticulate evolution. We studied the karyotype, fluorescent banding, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using 18–5.8–26 S and 5 S ribosomal DNA probes to survey karyotypic diversity of South American Grindelia species. Chromoso...

The third m sat-chromosome pair was homeologous in Grindelia. Chromosome variation, although not always large, accompanied the evolutionary divergence of the taxa studied. The Grindelia studied formed two species groups: (1) G. globularifolia and G. pulchella var. pulchella, (2) G. buphthalmoides, G. cabrerae var. alatocarpa and var. cabrerae, G. chiloensis, G. orientalis, and G. prostrata. These groups do not show any morphological affinities and their phylogenetic relationships are not clearly resolved, suggesting that these groups have recently diverged. © 2016 Società Botanica Italiana 2016 https://bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar/collection/paper/document/paper_11263504_v_n_p1_Moreno http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/paper_11263504_v_n_p1_Moreno
