Polyploidy, phylogeography and Pleistocene refugia of the rockfern Asplenium ceterach: evidence from chloroplast DNA

Abstract: Chloroplast DNA sequences were obtained from 331 Asplenium ceterach plants representing 143 populations from throughout the range of the complex in Europe, plus outlying sites in North Africa and the near East. We identified nine distinct haplotypes from a 900 bp fragment of trnL-trnF gene. Tetraploid populations were encountered throughout Europe and further afield, whereas diploid populations were scarcer and predominated in the Pannonian-Balkan region. Hexaploids were encountered only in southern Mediterran… Show more

“…The high frequency of hybridization has been explained by ferns' relative lack of pre-zygotic reproductive isolation mechanisms. Many hybrid species are sexual and cross with other species, especially Asplenium species (Trewick et al, 2002;Van den heede et al, 2003;Shepherd et al, 2008). However, as we discussed above, apogamy is common in ferns and is maintained in absolute reproductive isolation.…”

“…The rps4 gene and rps4-trnS intergenic spacer were amplified with primers TRNS (Souza-Chies et al, 1997) and an unnamed primer derived from Li and Lu (2006). The trnL intron and trnL-F intergenic spacer were amplified together using the primers FERN1 (Trewick et al, 2002) and F (Taberlet et al, 1991). All PCR conditions followed Zhang et al (2001).…”

“…In this study, some polyploid genotypes might have adapted to a cooler habitat and thus were able to disperse northward (in the northern hemisphere) or southward (in the southern hemisphere). The apogamous reproductive mode further enhances the chance of successful colonization of new habitats for these genotypes through the long distance dispersal of single spores (Schneller et al 1998, Page 2002, Trewick et al 2002, Pangua et al 2003, De Groot et al 2012.…”
