Abstract:Background
Hybridization is considered as an important model of speciation, but the evolutionary process of natural hybridization is still poorly characterized in Lycoris. To reveal the phylogenetic relationship of two new putative natural hybrids in Lycoris, morphological, karyotypic and chloroplast genomic data of four Lycoris species were analyzed in this study.
Results
Two putative natural hybrids (2n = 18 = 4 m + 5t + 6st + 3 T) possessed obvi… Show more
