Serpentine differentiation and polyploid evolution in <i>Knautia arvensis</i> agg. (Dipsacaceae).
Abstrakt
Evolutionary history of an intricate polyploid complex Knautia arvensis agg. in Central
Europe has been studied using combined approach of molecular (AFLP, DNA-sequencing)
and cytological (flow cytometry, karyology) techniques. Possible evolutionary scenario has
been suggested for the whole complex and for the serpentine population in particular, based
on critical assessment of results obtained from the different methods.
