Genetically divergent cytotypes of Vaccinium uliginosum co-occurring in the central Eastern Alps can be distinguished based on the morphology of their flowers

Abstract

Silbernagl L. & Schönswetter P. (2019) Genetically divergent cytotypes of Vaccinium uliginosum co-occurring in the central Eastern Alps can be distinguished based on the morphology of their flowers.-Preslia 91: 143-159. The cloudberries (Vaccinium uliginosum s. lat.) are among the most frequent constituents of dwarf shrub communities in the Alps. Recently, we have shown that (i) both diploid and tetraploid cytotypes are widespread in the Eastern Alps and sometimes occur in mixed "populations" and that (ii) the…
