Polymorphism of nuclear DNA in selected species of Taraxacum sect. Palustria

Abstract

This paper presents the results of research on nuclear DNA polymorphism in six apomictic species of marsh dandelions (Taraxacum sect. Palustria): Taraxacum bavaricum, T. belorussicum, T. brandenburgicum, T. paucilobum, T. subdolum and T. vindobonense. The studies demonstrated the existence of clear genetic differences between species and the existence of nuclear DNA polymorphism within each of the studied species.
