Chromosome numbers and heterochromatin variation in introgressed and non-introgressed populations of Epidendrum (Orchidaceae: Epidendroideae): interspecific transfers of heterochromatin lead to divergent variable karyotypes in the parental populations.
Some groups in Epidendrum have stable chromosome numbers, whereas the species of Epidendrum subgenus Amphiglottium exhibit high levels of chromosome number variability and other genomic alterations. Polyploidy and dysploidy have both been invoked to explain chromosome number variation in the subgenus, but little is known about what is driving the...Nollet, Felipe ; Medeiros Neto, Enoque ; Cordeiro, Joel M P ; Buril, Maria Teresa ; Chase, Mark W …

Extensive plastid-nuclear discordance in a recent radiation of Nicotiana section Suaveolentes (Solanaceae)
Nicotiana section Suaveolentes is the largest section of Nicotiana and is a monophyletic group of allotetraploid species. Most of the species are endemic to Australia, but three species occur on islands in the South Pacific as far east as French Polynesia and one species is native to Namibia. Here, we...
