Divergencia entre las subespecies del complejo Alstroemeria garaventae Ehr. Bayer (Alstroemeriaceae) sobre la base de datos cariotípicos y de secuencias de ADN cloroplastidial

Abstract

A comparative study of the two recognized subspecies of Alstroemeria garaventae Ehr. Bayer in Chile was conducted using chromosomes and chloroplast DNA as sources of taxonomic evidence. Both characters indicate both subspecies as separate entities, supporting previous taxonomic hypotheses. Yet, nuclear DNA analyses will be necessary to confirm their taxonomic status.
