Molecular (RAPD) analysis on Italian taxa of the Ophrys bertolonii aggregate (Orchidaceae)

The RAPD technique has been used for analyzing the genetic material of seven Italian populations of the Ophrys bertolonii aggregate (Orchidaceae). For comparison the related species O. sphegodes and O. fuciflora have also been analyzed. A high genetic variability has been observed within the same po...

Zusammenfassung:The RAPD technique has been used for analyzing the genetic material of seven Italian populations of the Ophrys bertolonii aggregate (Orchidaceae). For comparison the related species O. sphegodes and O. fuciflora have also been analyzed. A high genetic variability has been observed within the same populations, and on the whole only O. bertolonii can be safely differentiated from the other taxa of the aggregate, which are undistinguishable with this method.
