TAILIEUCHUNG - Biogeographic divergences in the Iberian flora. A morpho-anatomic, ISSR-based, and environmental study of Iberian Buxus sempervirens L.

Iberian Buxus spp. are represented by B. sempervirens, restricted to the Cantabrian, eastern Iberian Peninsula, and northeastern mountain systems, emerging scarcely in Portugal, and by B. balearica that occurs in the Betic deep river valleys and in the Balearic islands. | Turkish Journal of Botany Turk J Bot (2016) 40: 1-16 © TÜBİTAK doi: Research Article Biogeographic divergences in the Iberian flora.

The genetic affinity existent between fifteen populations of B. sempervirens was evaluated by seven ISSRs primers. Moreover, leaf morphoanatomical measurements indicative of leaf performance (such as leaf area, leaf mass per unit area, width, length, shape factor, tissues thickness, stomatal density, and quantification of epi- and intracuticular waxes) and environmental .
