Species delimitation in Capparis (Capparaceae): Morphological and molecular
Capparis spinosa L. (Capparidaceae) is the largest genus of the family Capparaceae, distributed in pantropical region. C. spinosa is known as a medicinal plant species. In Iran, different parts of caper bush plants are used as diuretics, tonics and in treatment of malaria and joint disease....

description |
Capparis spinosa L. (Capparidaceae) is the largest genus of the family
Capparaceae, distributed in pantropical region. C. spinosa is known as a
medicinal plant species. In Iran, different parts of caper bush plants are
used as diuretics, tonics and in treatment of malaria and joint disease.
Till present time, there has been no detailed information available on
molecular phylogeny and genetic structure of these species in the country.
Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim to investigate
species delimitation by both morphological and molecular data and to reveal
genetic diversity and population structure in these five of Capparis
species. For this study, 108 randomly collected plants from 20 geographical
populations in of Capparis species were used. We encountered extensive
within species genetic and morphological diversity. ISSR molecular markers
could delimit the studied species. STRUCTURE analysis revealed the
occurrence gene flow between these species. The Mantel test showed
correlation between genetic distance and geographical distance of the
populations studied. Phylogenetic tree was constructed based on ITS data set
which separated out-groups from the studied species. Genetic affinity of the
studied species have been discussed. |
