Genome Size Variation in Central European Species of Cirsium (Compositae) and their Natural Hybrids

Abstract: Considerable differences in nuclear DNA content exist among Central European species of Cirsium on the diploid level. Perennial soft spiny Cirsium species of wet habitats and continental distributions generally have smaller genomes. The hybrids of diploid species remain diploid, and their DNA content is smaller than the mean of the parents. Species with smaller genomes produce interspecific hybrids more frequently.

“…(Asteraceae) contains about 250 perennial, biennial or rarely annual and spiny species (Zomlefer 1994;Bureš et al 2004). These species mainly grow in Northern hemisphere, Europe, North Africa, Siberia, central Asia, west & east Africa and Central America.…”

“…They show wide range of ecological adaptations in places they grow and occupy different localities with regard to elevation, temperature and edaphic factors due to their genetic adaptability and plasticity. They also are well known for interspecific hybrid formation and wide gene flow, which also helps their adaptation to various environmental conditions (Bureš et al 2004). Such features have resulted in the extensive variation in morphological characters observed in Cirsium taxa.…”

“…For example, Price et al (1983) showed that DNA content differed significantly between Microseris F 1 hybrids and those of their parental species, and Bureš et al (2004) found that the DNA values of most interspecific hybrids of Cirsium were between those of their putative parents. Three Helianthus hybrid species showed a marked increase in DNA content as compared with the parental species (Baack et al, 2005).…”

“…10%). Several chromosome numbers such as 2n = 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 26, 51, and 102 are either very rare or doubtful (Bures et al, 2004). In addition, 2n = 32, 34, 36, 60, and 68 chromosome numbers were reported from studies on the Turkish Cirsium taxa (Ozcan et al, 2008(Ozcan et al, , 2011Yüksel et al, 2013).…”
