Molecular Phylogeny of Dinaric Campanulas (Campanulaceae)

The main interest of this study was identifying the relationships among Campanula taxa and lineages from Dinaric region. For such aim different chloroplast DNA sequences and ITS sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA from 35 Campanula taxa were studied. The obtained results pointed towards separation of the heterophyllous and isophyllous taxa, as well as a clear isolation of the "isophylloid" groups. Although heterophyllous taxa (Rotundifolia agg.) assembled compact and easy recognized group, the composition of the species within group was strongly connected to the particular DNA region. Since the species of the sect. Rapunculus have shown little mutual relations and some of them were settled into the sect. Campanula traditional delimitation of this genus in two sections was not supported.
