The interplay of morphology and hybridization on the taxonomy and applied uses of the Southern South American wild potatoes (Solanum sect. Petota ser. Commersoniana, Solanaceae)
Project summary:
Is Solanum malmeanum a species, an infraspecies conspecific with S. commersonii or a hybrid of the later with S. chacoense? To elucidate these long-lasting questions, morphometrics and reproduction behavior will be combined with genomics. Then artificial and putative natural hybrids will be assessed with the same tools and compared.
