Taxonomy, nomenclature, morphology, and distribution of Campanula farinosa are updated. The species is for the first time reported Ural Western Siberia; C. krylovii relegated to its synonymy. Morphological characters discriminating glomerata revised; stability these features throughout whole area ranging from Central Europe Siberia underlined as an argument favoring (not subspecies) status latt...

1 Although outbreeding populations of many grassland plants exhibit substantial genetic and phenotypic variation at fine spatial scales (< 100 m 2 ), the implications of local genetic diversity for community structure are poorly understood. Genetic diversity could contribute to local species diversity by mediating the effects of competition between species and by enhancing species persistence i...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite markers were identified and characterized to study the genetic diversity and structure, conservation status, taxonomy, and biogeography of subspecific taxa and populations of Campanula pyramidalis (Campanulaceae). METHODS AND RESULTS Eleven microsatellite markers were developed from genomic libraries enriched for di- and trinucleotide repeats. A total of 80...

Original meiotic or both and mitotic chromosome numbers are reported for ten endemic one non species in nine vascular plant families from Iran. The of Acantholimon schahrudicum, A. truncatum, Anthochlamys multinervis, Campanula perpusilla, Cousinia calcitrapa var. interrupta, Dorema ammoniacum, Euphorbia gedrosiaca, Hyocyamus orthocarpus were determined the first time. counts Astrodaucus persic...
