Abstract

In this work nine RAPD primers were used to assess genetic differentiation among C. heterophyllus subsp. carthaginensis from both Murcia and Valencia populations. In addition, we included a C. albidus population, a hybrid sample between C. albidus and C. heterophyllus subsp. carthaginensis and an individual of C. heterophyllus s. str. from Norhtern Africa. Our results (UPGMA cluster, PCO) suggest the existence of introgression processes in Murcian populations caused by inter-specifi c crosses with C. albidus, as well the taxonomic invalidity of subsp. carthaginensis. These results could be of interest to future conservation policies of C. heterophyllus in the Iberian Peninsule.
