Abstract

The authors report the use of nuclear [internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences 1 and 2] and chloroplast DNA (trnS-trnG intergenic spacer sequences) in Viola subsect. Viola for separate tracking of maternal lineages and detecting dubious herbarium specimens. A phylogenetic investigation carried out on ITS data after removal of all material with possible hybrid origin showed that V. hirta is a monophyletic unit, whereas V. odorata includes at least V. collina and V. jaubertiana, as well as three sequences of V. alba subsp. dehnhardtii from literature. In some, among the sampled individuals, the morphological attribution to one species is contradicted by nuclear DNA, which indicated a wide distance from other non-specific individuals from different locations and closer proximity to a different species. Chloroplast DNA data for the same individuals, on the contrary concurred with morphological evidence. These findings confirm document univocal correlation between our chosen chloroplast sequences and the studied taxa at species or subspecies level; these sequences have the appropriate variability range to be employed for detection of the maternal lineage of unknown Viola samples.
