Gene flow between diploid and tetraploid junipers - two contrasting evolutionary pathways in two Juniperus populations

Gene flow between diploid and tetraploid junipers - two contrasting evolutionary pathways in two Juniperus populations

Abstract Background Gene flow and polyploidy have been found to be important in Juniperus evolution. However, little evidence has been published elucidating the association of both phenomena in juniper taxa in the wild. Two main areas were studied in Spain (Eastern Iberian Range and Sierra de Baza)...
