“…Furthermore, previous genetic analyses of closely related, North American Aquilegia suggest relatively recent divergence of the genus (e.g. Ro & McPheron 1997). Given our demonstrated successful cross‐species amplification, we expect that these primers will be transferable to the DNAs from individuals present in other North American Aquilegia populations.…”

We obtained a microsatellite‐enriched genomic library isolated from the tissue of a single columbine (Aquilegia sp.) plant taken from a southwestern USA natural population. The primers developed for these microsatellite loci performed consistently in polymerase chain reactions and yielded multiallelic genotypes with relatively high observed heterozygosities. We describe polymerase chain reaction primers and conditions to amplify 16 unique, codominant di‐, tri‐ and tetra‐nucleotide microsatellite DNA loci so that other population biology researchers using columbine natural populations as a model system may benefit.

“…A very closely related clade (i.e. Isopyrum + Enemion ; Hodges & Arnold, 1994a; Ro & McPheron, 1997) lacks nectar spurs and presumably floral isolation, but has a very similar distribution in the Old and New World. Thus, this clade has likely had similar opportunity to diversify via habitat differentiation as Aquilegia yet it contains only 19 described species compared with the 70 in Aquilegia, despite its older age.…”

SummaryOne of Verne Grant's lasting contributions to plant evolutionary biology has been the recognition that differences between plants in floral characters can have a dramatic impact on both pollinator visitation and pollen transfer and thus affect reproductive isolation between nascent plant species (collectively, floral isolation). Here we review some of the concepts and findings from Grant's work on floral isolation, particularly with respect to the genus Aquilegia (Ranunculaceae). It has now been over 50 yr since Grant first published on the role of floral isolation on reproductive isolation and speciation in Aquilegia and we compare and contrast his findings with our own work on this genus. We find that the data largely support Grant's findings and that Aquilegia will continue to offer great opportunities to learn about the processes of adaptation and speciation.

“…Loconte, Campbell & Stevenson (1995) interpreted the chromosomes of Asteropyrum as T‐type in their morphology‐based cladistic analysis of the Ranunculaceae, and found that Asteropyrum was nested in Isopyroideae, although a helleboroid position was only one step longer. Ro & Mcpheron (1997) inferred that Asteropyrum might turn out to be basal to some or all taxa with R‐type chromosomes, considering that this genus is the only T‐chromosome taxon with a basic chromosome number of x = 8.…”

A karyomorphological study of two species in Asteropyrum (Ranunculaceae) and five in presumably related genera (one each in Caltha , Coptis , and Dichocarpum and two in Thalictrum ) reveals close similarities between Asteropyrum and Caltha , but obvious differences between Asteropyrum and Coptis , Dichocarpum , and Thalictrum , in some karyological features, such as the structure of the interphase nuclei, chromosome size, basic chromosome number, and condensation behaviour of chromosomes during the mitotic prophase. The chromosomes of Asteropyrum are categorized as being of the R-type and the basic chromosome number is confirmed as x = 8, indicating a possible close affinity of Asteropyrum to members in the subfamily Helleboroideae, in particular to Caltha and its allies. Asteropyrum peltatum and Asteropyrum cavaleriei are shown to be more or less differentiated from each other in gross morphology and palynology, and somewhat independent in geographical distribution, albeit with intermediate forms occurring where their distribution zones overlap. It seems justifiable to treat them as two subspecies of A. peltatum .
