Differentiation patterns in Ranunculus subgenus Batrachium (Ranunculaceae)

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Plant Systematics and Evolution Supplement 9 ((SYSTEMATICS,volume 9))

Abstract

The processes that have influenced speciation and evolution in Ranunculus subg. Batrachium are surveyed: polypoidy and hybridization, environmental adaptation, morphological differentiation, reproduction and the breeding system, including the embryology of the group. Preliminary results of isozyme electrophoretic studies and flavonoid HPLC-studies are presented. The rank of subgenus as well as differentiation and speciation are discussed. The new combination Ranunculus pekinensis (L. Liou) G. Dahlgren is made.
