Southeastern Europe is a centre of European biodiversity, but very little is known about factors causing the observed richness. Here, we contribute to fill this gap by reconstructing the spatio-temporal diversification of the cytologically variable and taxonomically intricate complex of Veronica chamaedrys (Plantaginaceae s.l.), growing in open forests, forest edges and grasslands, with flow cy...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite markers were developed for the critically endangered carnivorous species Philcoxia minensis (Plantaginaceae) for further population genetic studies aiming at its conservation. METHODS AND RESULTS We identified 29 clones containing 40 microsatellites from a genomic enriched library. A total of 27 primer pairs were developed and evaluated in 30 individuals of...

The genus Plantago of family Plantaginaceae includes about 483 species. These are small, annual or perennial herbaceous plants with various medicinal properties. The word Plantago is taken from the “planta” which means “sole of the foot”. The Plantago lagopus is a wild plant. The meiotic studies of Plantago lagopus plants revealed 12 chromosomes.

La gran mayoría de las especies Bacopa (Gratioleae-Plantaginaceae) son plantas macrófitas que presentan una serie adaptaciones morfológicas, anatómicas y ecofisiológicas en sus órganos vegetativos. Se estudió la anatomía vegetativa cinco presentes el Iberá humedales del Paraguay. Para estudio foliar caulinar se realizaron cortes paradermales transversales a mano alzada con micrótomo rotativo pa...
