Genome size variation and incidence of polyploidy in Scrophulariaceae sensu l…

Abstract. Background and aims: In the last decade, genomic studies using DNA markers have strongly influenced the current phylogeny of angiosperms. Genome size and ploidy level have contributed to this discussion, being considered important characters in biosystematics, ecology and population biology. Despite the recent increase in studies related to genome size evolution and polyploidy i…
