However, technical difficulties in the analyses of low-copy genes have limited the study of the origins of hybrid and polyploid plants. Here, we present a phylogenetic analysis of the hexaploid Cardamine asarifolia, distributed in the southern European Alps and northern Apennines. Our study included all relevant taxa of the genus found in Europe. A marked discrepancy was revealed between the trnL-trnF region of cpDNA and internal transcribed spacer (nrDNA ITS) sequences. To solve the incongruence, we sequenced a single-copy nuclear CHS gene (chalcone synthase) using a novel method to design homoeologue-specific PCR primers to bypass artefacts caused by artificial recombination of homoeologues during PCR and/or cloning. Three homoeologues were isolated from C. asarifolia, providing evidence for its allopolyploid origin. One homoeologue, showing the same phylogenetic position as the ITS sequences, most likely originated from an extinct parent. Furthermore, we documented recurrent polytopic hybridizations between C. asarifolia and diploid C. amara. The allohexaploidization and the following hybridization with a diploid species exemplify the ongoing dynamic processes of speciation in the genus Cardamine.}, number={3}, journal={MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION}, author={Lihova, Judita and Shimizu, Kentaro K. and Marhold, Karol}, year={2006}, month={Jun}, pages={759–786} } @article{shimizu_2006, title={Evolutionary Genomics (Evolutionary and Ecological Functional Genomics) -- the power of Arabidopsis thaliana to study adaptive evolution}, volume={56}, ISBN={0021-5007}, number={1}, journal={Japanese Journal of Ecology}, author={Shimizu, K.}, year={2006}, pages={28} } @article{shimizu_purugganan_2005, title={Evolutionary and ecological genomics of arabidopsis}, volume={138}, ISSN={["1532-2548"]}, DOI={10.1104/pp.105.061655}, abstractNote={Why are some plants self-pollinating?

In the selfing plant Arabidopsis thaliana , pseudogenes at the SCR and SRK self-incompatibility loci are believed to underlie the evolution of self-fertilization. Positive directional selection has driven the evolutionary fixation of pseudogene alleles of SCR , leading to substantially reduced nucleotide variation. Coalescent simulations indicate that this adaptive event may have occurred very recently and is possibly associated with the post-Pleistocene expansion of A. thaliana from glacial refugia. This suggests that ancillary morphological innovations associated with self-pollination can evolve rapidly after the inactivation of the self-incompatibility response. }, number={5704}, journal={SCIENCE}, author={Shimizu, KK and Cork, JM and Caicedo, AL and Mays, CA and Moore, RC and Olsen, KM and Ruzsa, S and Coop, G and Bustamante, CD and Awadalla, P and et al.}, year={2004}, month={Dec}, pages={2081–2084} }
