Incongruence between cpDNA and nrITS trees indicates extensive hybridization within Eupersicaria (Polygonaceae).
Interspecific hybridization followed by polyploidization appears to have played a major role in plant diversification, but quantifying the contribution of this mechanism to diversification within taxonomically complex clades remains difficult. Incongruence among gene trees can provide critical insights, especially when combined with data on chromosome numbers, morphology, and geography. To furt...
متن کاملMultiple ITS Copies Reveal Extensive Hybridization within Rheum (Polygonaceae), a Genus That Has Undergone Rapid Radiation
BACKGROUND During adaptive radiation events, characters can arise multiple times due to parallel evolution, but transfer of traits through hybridization provides an alternative explanation for the same character appearing in apparently non-sister lineages. The signature of hybridization can be detected in incongruence between phylogenies derived from different markers, or from the presence of t...
متن کاملGeographically extensive hybridization between the forest trees American butternut and Japanese walnut.
We investigate the question of naturally occurring interspecific hybrids between two forest trees: the native North American butternut (Juglans cinerea L.) and the introduced Japanese walnut (Juglans ailantifolia Carrière). Using nuclear and chloroplast DNA markers, we provide evidence for 29 F(1) and 22 advanced generation hybrids in seven locations across the eastern and southern range of the...
متن کاملPhylogenetic trees: visualizing, customizing and detecting incongruence
SUMMARY TreeIllustrator is a user-friendly application to visualize and customize phylogenetic trees. It has a broad range of functions and capabilities, such as dragging of nodes, different tree shapes, zooming and searching capabilities, and support for large trees. It acts as a solution that integrates the specificity of visualizing phylogenetic trees and the customization options of a drawi...
متن کاملExtensive Hybridization and Introgression between Melastoma candidum and M. sanguineum
Natural hybridization can lead to various evolutionary outcomes in plants, including hybrid speciation and interspecific gene transfer. It can also cause taxonomic problems, especially in plant genera containing multiple species. In this study, the hybrid status of Melastoma affine, the most widespread taxon in this genus, and introgression between its putative parental species, M. candidum and...
