  2. 11. Phylogenetics and taxonomy of the Gorteria clade (Asteraceae-Arctotideae)

    Author : Frida Stångberg; Arne Anderberg; Christoph Oberprieler; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; växtsystematik; Plant Systematics;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the systematics of the Gorteria-Gazania-Hirpicium-clade within the tribe Arctotideae-Gorteriinae in the angiosperm family Asteraceae. The group is found in southern Africa, with many representatives in the Greater Cape Floristic Region in South Africa, an area known for its high species richness and endemism. READ MORE

  4. 12. Genetic variation, clonal diversity and breeding system in sedges (Carex)

    Author : Olle Jonsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systematic botany; Carex ericetorum; Carex caryophyllea; Carex bigelowii; Carex arenaria; phenology; niche; genet identification; clone size; isozyme; gene flow; introgression; allozyme; gene diversity; population genetics; taxonomy; morphology; phytogeography; chemotaxonomy. Physiology of nonvascular plants; Systematisk botanik; taxonomi; morfologi; kemotaxonomi. Växters fysiologi inte kärlväxter .;

    Abstract : In this thesis I investigate genetic variation in clonal plants within the wind-pollinated plant family Cyperaceae and, in particular, in species of Carex. Clonal diversity and the spatial distribution of clones (genets) within populations was investigated in Carex bigelowii (in Iceland and Scandinavia) and C. READ MORE

  5. 13. The spatial structure of genetic and morphometric variation in Corylus avellana (Betulaceae): pattern and scale

    Author : Helena Persson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phytogeography; chemotaxonomy. Physiology of nonvascular plants; Systematisk botanik; taxonomi; morfologi; kemotaxonomi. Växters fysiologi inte kärlväxter .; taxonomy; morphology; Systematic botany; Öland; clonal structure; marginal and central populations; image analysis; aerial photographs; morphometric variation; allozymes; Corylus avellana; genetic variation;

    Abstract : In the present thesis, I investigated the spatial structure of genetic and morphometric variation in the widespread wind-pollinated shrub Corylus avellana (L.) Betulaceae, hazel, and related the variation to geographic distribution and different spatial scales. READ MORE

  6. 14. Phylogenetic Studies in the Lamiales with Special Focus on Scrophulariaceae and Stilbaceae

    Author : Per Kornhall; Birgitta Bremer; Nigel Barker; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Bayesian inference; parsimony; phylogeny; Scrophulariaceae; Stilbaceae; taxonomy; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with plants from the flowering plant order Lamiales, and especially the two families Scrophulariaceae and Stilbaceae. Both families have their main geographical distribution in southern Africa. The thesis presents phylogenies of Scrophulariaceae s. lat. READ MORE

  7. 15. Evolutionary Processes and Hybridization within the Peat Mosses, Sphagnum

Physiology of nonvascular plants; Systematisk botanik; growth rate; regeneration; evolution; Systematic botany; taxonomy; introgression; maternal inheritance; recombination; hybridizarion;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to reveal details of the interspecific hybridization among bryophytes as exemplified by Sphagnum capillifolium and S. quinquefarium. READ MORE
