DNA polymorphisms are the markers of choice for the identification and characterization of plants. They are an integral part of the plant and they are not subject to environmental modification. There are relatively reliable, generally applicable methods to obtain large samples of markers from any species of plant. However, each marker system sample...

Variation of approximately 20 kb of non-coding regions of the chloroplast genome of 29 species of Allium and 7 species of related genera have been cladistically analyzed. Both restriction site mutations and length mutations have been included in these analyses. The cladograms obtained with both types of mutation are highly similar topologically and...

... La hibridación interespecífica es el resultado de la fecundación entre dos individuos de distinta constitución genética, que puede llegar a ocurrir de forma natural o de manera artificial, en el caso de las plantas a través del mecanismo de polinización artificial (Poehlman y Allen, 2005). La hibridación interespecífica es uno de los fenómenos de mayor predominio en la evolución de las plantas (Friesen et al., 1997;Sánchez y Raymúndez, 2017), ya que algunas especies híbridas pueden mostrar nuevos caracteres, haciéndolas morfológica y ecológicamente distintas (Goodwillie, 1999). La combinación de los caracteres genéticos de las especies parentales promueve la heterocigosidad y conlleva a la formación de múltiples combinaciones genotípicas en la progenie como resultado de las recombinaciones intra e intercromosómicas en cada progenitor (Natali et al., 1998;Imery, 2012a). ...
... Screening for drought tolerance and diversity among different cultivars based on morphological characterization is not enough, as these traits are more sensitive to environmental changes (Fufa et al., 2005). Therefore, the DNA molecular markers have been used as an accurate tool that are not influenced by environmental effects (Bachmann et al., 2001;Tatikonda et al., 2009). In addition, they can easily detect polymorphism that may result from nucleotide change or mutation in the genome loci (Hartl and Clark, 1997). ...
... Recently, Jang et al. (2021) investigated floral parts specifically for species of section Rhizirideum in South Korea and northeast China. However, due to over-reliance on dried specimens, disagreements regarding the taxonomic importance of specific morphological traits, and the proliferation of synonyms (Hanelt et al., 1992;Khassanov and Fritsch, 1994;Mes et al., 1997;Gregory et al., 1998;Choi and Oh, 2011), the infrageneric taxonomy and evolution in the genus are still not entirely understood. ...
