Genetic structure and mating patterns of diploid and polyploid Easter daisies (Townsendia hookeri, asteraceae)

Reproduction in the Rocky Mountain genus Townsendia involves a complex interplay of polyploidy and apomixis. Molecular markers were used to assess genetic structure in relation to patterns of mating mode and ploidy at four hierarchical levels: within the genus, within T. hookeri, within populations...
