| Abstract: | The three flavone glycosylating genes in European Silene pratensis shows a distinct geographical variation. Three genetically different races can be distinguished on the basis of gene frequencies. Pattern recognition techniques and cluster analysis have been used on the data set of frequencies of the flavone-glycosylating genes in 285 European populations of S. pratensis. The combined results of these analyses confirm the previously recognized races and reveal a steep cline between races 7 and 2(+3) and a wide wide transition zone between races 2 and 3. |
