Abstract
Fragaria genus has a worldwide distribution and different ploidy levels. The only wild Fragaria species described in Chile is the octoploid Fragaria chiloensis. In a group of Fragaria accessions from southern Chile including Fragaria chiloensis subsp. chiloensis f. patagonica individuals, an accession named Fragaria-MEN, caught our attention because it shows notable phenotypic differences compared to the rest of the accessions. Fragaria-MEN was collected near the Menetue hot springs (Araucania Region, Chile) and differs from the other F. chiloensis plants mainly in leaf morphology. Due to these differences, we carried out a full morphology description of Fragaria-MEN individuals and then a characterization of the chromosomes and genome size to verify the ploidy level. Morphological analysis reveals close vegetative and reproductive characteristics shared with the non-native diploid Fragaria vesca ‘Hawaii’ species. We also observed a DNA amount according to the diploidy (2n = 2× = 14) revealed by cytological analysis of chromosomes. We propose Fragaria-MEN as F. vesca population that should have been introduced and now is naturalized in the Araucania Region of Chile.
期刊介绍:
Phytotaxa is a peer-reviewed, international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic and taxonomic botany, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs, floras, revisions and evolutionary studies and descriptions of new taxa. Phytotaxa covers all groups covered by the International Code of Nomenclature foralgae, fungi, and plants ICNafp (fungi, lichens, algae, diatoms, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and vascular plants), both living and fossil. Phytotaxa was founded in 2009 as botanical sister journal to Zootaxa. It has a large editorial board, who are running this journal on a voluntary basis, and it is published by Magnolia Press (Auckland , New Zealand). It is also indexed by SCIE, JCR and Biosis.
All types of taxonomic, floristic and phytogeographic papers are considered, including theoretical papers and methodology, systematics and phylogeny, monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues, biographies and bibliographies, history of botanical explorations, identification guides, floras, analyses of characters, phylogenetic studies and phytogeography, descriptions of taxa, typification and nomenclatural papers. Monographs and other long manuscripts (of 60 printed pages or more) can be published as books, which will receive an ISBN number as well as being part of the Phytotaxa series.
