Abstract

NUNEZ-COLIN, Carlos Alberto et al. Variación de la región ribosómica nuclear en Crataegus L. del centro y sur de México. Agron. Mesoam [online]. 2011, vol.22, n.1, pp.01-10. ISSN 2215-3608.

Variation of the nuclear ribosomal region in Crataegus L. from central and southern Mexico. This study was conducted at the Universidad Autónoma de Chapingo and concluded in October 2008, to determine the genetic relationships among species of Crataegus from central and southern Mexico. The variation in the sequences of the nuclear ribosomal region was low in all accessions of germplasm of Mexican Crataegus, and the phylogram only showed separation of the species used as positive controls, but did not show a clear separation of groups of species. However, all accessions had the same pattern of nucleotide substitution and very low values of the distance of nucleotide composition; thus, Mexican Crataegus species have high genetic relationship among them, but there is a lack of evidence to conclude that they are variants of the same taxonomic species. C. nelsoni and C. stipulosa could be a source of genes for C. mexicana because both species, from Chiapas, have the closest relationship with this species, which has the best agronomic characteristics.
