Panel of figures to illustrate data collected using phylogenomic, flow cytometric, cytological, and morphological analyses to investigate Elatostema longpingii, hypothesized to be a heteroploid hybrid between E. scabrum and E. hirticaule. Results confirmed its hybrid origin, with E. longpingii inheriting apomixis from its maternal parent, E. scabrum. This provides a case how hybridization and apomixis contribute to diversification in Elatostema.
Fu et al. utilize insights from #phylogenomics, flow #cytometry, #cytology, and #morphology to argue that hybridization and apomixis contribute to diversification in Elatostema.
