Unusual patterns of hybridization involving a narrow endemic Rhododendron species (Ericaceae) in Yunnan, China.
UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY One potential threat to rare species is genetic swamping caused by hybridization, but few studies have quantified this threat. Rhododendron cyanocarpum is a narrow endemic species that occurs sympatrically with potentially interfertile congeners throughout its range within Yunnan, China. We searched the entire distribution of R. cyanocarpum for hybrids and exa...
متن کاملStamen dimorphism in Rhododendron ferrugineum (Ericaceae): development and function.
The function of stamen dimorphism in the breeding system of the alpine shrub Rhododendron ferrugineum was studied in two populations in the French Alps. This species has pentameric flowers with two whorls of stamens: an inner whorl of five long stamens and an outer whorl of short stamens. We studied the development of stamens from buds to mature flowers (measurement of the filament, anther, and...
متن کاملFlow Cytometric Analysis of Ploidy in Rhododendron (subgenus Tsutsusi)
Ploidy level was determined for six species and 88 cultivars of the Rhododendron subgenus Tsutsusi. High-resolution flow cytometry of nuclear DNA was performed on macerated plant tissue. All plants analyzed were diploid (2n = 26) with the exception of ‘Euratom’, ‘Euratom Orange’, and ‘Red Wing’, which were triploid (3n = 39), and ‘Casablanca Tetra’, which was found to be a cytochimera: mixoploi...
متن کاملNatural hybridization between Rhododendron delavayi and Rhododenron cyanocarpum (Ericaceae), from morphological, molecular and reproductive evidence
The natural hybridization that occurs between two sympatric species of Rhododendron subgenus Hymenanthes in Yunnan, China, was investigated. In field observations, it was noted that the putative hybrids between Rhododendron delavayi (Franch.) and Rhododendron cyanocarpum (Franch.) W.W.Smith had intermediate morphologies. On the basis of morphology, chloroplast DNA (trnL-rpl32) and nuclear DNA (...
