Ploidy levels and their relationships with the rainfall in several populations of Patagonian species of Berberis L

The ploidy levels and pollen staining of 68 populations belonging to 13 species of the genus Berberis L., growing in the Argentinian Patagonia under different environmental conditions, were analyzed as a part of a multidisciplinary study to obtain information about the evolutionary history of the ge...
