Conclusions. 330 $aChromosomal change has been important in the evolution of flowering plants. Cytogenetic modifications resulting in dysploid and polyploid alterations of plant genomes have often led to the formation of new species. A genus that represents an excellent example of such changes during its evolutionary history is Melampodium (Asteraceae), occurring primarily in Mexico, Central America, and the southwestern United States. This book is a detailed presentation of the diversity of species in Melampodium, their ecological requirements and phylogenetic relationships, the biogeographic patterns and migrational pathways, chromosomal diversity, and evolutionary origins of species, especially the tetraploids and hexaploids through allopolyploidy. It is an instructive case study of evolution through chromosomal change in a broadly distributed genus of importance in the ecosystems of Mexico and adjacent regions. 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aPlants$xReproduction 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aPlant ecology 606 $aPlants$xEvolution 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPlant Genetics 606 $aPlant Reproduction 606 $aPlant Physiology 606 $aPlant Ecology 606 $aPlant Evolution 606 $aAgriculture 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 0$aPlants$xReproduction. 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aPlant ecology. 615 0$aPlants$xEvolution. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 14$aPlant Genetics. 615 24$aPlant Reproduction. 615 24$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aPlant Ecology. 615 24$aPlant Evolution. 615 24$aAgriculture. 676 $a581.35 700 $aStuessy$b Tod F$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0531513 702 $aWeiss-Schneeweiss$b Hanna$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aSchneeweiss$b Gerald M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aVillaseñor$b José L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910992784603321 996 $aSystematics, Ecology, and Chromosomal Evolution of Melampodium (Asteraceae)$94349045 997 $aUNINA
