Lost loci in Primula parentage probe


Figure 1
I have often heard it said that speciation is a slow process, taking place over many generations, even when populations are separated. There is certainly much truth in that statement but equally it ignores genetic events that create new species more or less instantly. One of those events is polyploidization. A glance at chromosome numbers in almost any angiosperm genus reveals that polyploidization has played a major role in angiosperm evolution. Indeed, Guggisberg et al. from Zurich, Switzerland (pp. 919–927) cite a review by Soltis (2005. Ancient and recent polyploidy in angiosperms. New Phytologist 166: 5–8), which states that at least 70 % of angiosperms have polyploid origins. Modern molecular and cytological techniques help investigate putative parental origins of polyploids as has been used . . . [Full Text of this Article]
