Veronica: Parallel morphological evolution and phylogeography in the Mediterranean

New Species of Veronica Subgen. Pseudolysimachium (Plantaginaceae Juss.)

“…Также Graze сообщил о возникновении множе-ства популяций V. longifolia с 36 хромосомами равного размера. Учитывая результаты исследо-ваний как ядерного генома (Albach, Chase, 2001), так и пластидного (Albach et al, 2004a), кото-рые показывают положение подрода Pseudolysimachium среди подродов с x = 9 и отдаленное родст во подродов с x = 8, гипотеза Graze кажется более вероятной (Albach et al, 2004b).…”

Pollen morphology in the genus Veronica L. (Plantaginaceae) and its systematic significance

“…Over a number of years various characters have been considered as useful for the infrageneric classification of Veronica, for example, life cycle and inflorescence position, but subsequently have been shown to be homoplasious and associated with the parallel evolution of specific life strategies (Albach et al, 2004a;2004c). Currently base chromosome number (Albach et al, 2009), ultrastructure of the seed testa (Martínez-Ortega & Rico, 2001;Muñoz-Centeno et al, 2006) and selected phytochemical data (Albach et al, 2005aJensen et al, 2005;Taskova et al, 2004) are being used to assess relationships among taxa within the genus, and to provide additional support for molecular trees.…”

“…We have mapped the ornamentation types onto a cladogram which shows the relationships of Veroniceae based on analyses of DNA sequences, from both nuclear and plastid regions, according to data by Albach et al (2001Albach et al ( , 2004aAlbach et al ( , 2004cAlbach et al ( , 2005cAlbach et al ( , 2009). …”

“…In these two widely distributed species, the correlation between pollen Figure 14. Principal exine ornamentation patterns represented in Veronica mapped onto a cladogram of relationships within tribe Veroniceae based on Albach et al (2001Albach et al ( , 2004aAlbach et al ( , 2004cAlbach et al ( , 2005cAlbach et al ( , 2009. Principal chromosome base numbers represented in each subgenus are indicated above branches.…”

“…450 species, including the Hebe complex (Albach et al, 2004a(Albach et al, , 2009) worldwide. The infrageneric classification of Veronica has undergone considerable changes in recent years (Albach et al, 2004b;Garnock-Jones et al, 2007).…”
