Abstract
Recent hybrid speciation events between the diploidCardamine rivularis and the diploidC. amara leading to the triploidC. xinsueta were investigated with random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). The hybrid nature ofC. xinsueta was confirmed by the additivity of RAPD markers which discriminate the parent species. An unexpectedly high level of genetic variation withinC. xinsueta argues for several hybridization events and/or backcrossing withC. rivularis. A low number of nonparental bands inC. xinsueta indicates the younger age of this taxon. In contrast to the situation inC. xinsueta, low variability was observed in the hexaploidC. schulzii, a derivative species ofC. xinsueta: C. schulzii probably originated recently by a single autopolyploidization event. The higher number of non-parental bands inC. schulzii is explained by the changing genetic variability of the parental populations. Evidence for potential gene flow across the ploidy levels is also provided.
