Abstract

Sequence data from the nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the plastid trnL-trnF regions were used to assess relationships between populations of N. odorata across its North American range, and to evaluate if subsp. odorata and subsp. tuberosa form distinct units. Since hybridization between N. mexicana and N. odorata is possible, the status of populations assigned to either species based on morphological characters was evaluated by using a more distant outgroup, subgenus Brachyceras. The ITS region revealed N. odorata to be monophyletic and sister to N. mexicana. Within N. odorata, polymorphic sites were detected, indicating possible hybridization between the subspecies. The geographic location of these hybrids suggests a possible hybrid zone. Overall, molecular evidence supports the segregation of subsp. odorata and subsp. tuberosa, with limited gene flow between the subspecies.
