Abstract
The genus Limonium includes over 300 species, about 200 of which originate in the Mediterranean sea. From a botanical point of view, several studies were carried out in order to clarify the phylogenetic relationships between species. Many of these studies, however, were not clear and exhaustive as they were often limited to restricted geographical areas.
A collection of Limonium species, native to Europe and also Asia, Caucasus and Africa, was set up at the CRA-VIV of Pescia as part of the RGV-FAO Project.
The aim of this PhD thesis was to list and characterize the collection using both morphometric markers, provided by CPVO, and AFLP molecular markers. On the basis of these analyses, dendrograms describing the phylogenetic relationships among 16 species, were elaborated.
Both morphometric and molecular analyses were effective in clarifying most of the phylogenetic relationships among the species of the collection.
