Speciation of Juniperus cedrus and J. maderensis in the archipelagos of Canaries and Madeira based on terpenoids and nrDNA and petN-psbM sequences

Analyses of nrDNA and petN-PsbM sequence data, combined with leaf terpenes data, revealed that putative J. cedrus from Madeira is as distinct from J. cedrus of the Canary Islands as it is from J. oxycedrus. These data support the recognition of the Madeira juniper at the specific level, J. maderensi...

Sumario:Analyses of nrDNA and petN-PsbM sequence data, combined with leaf terpenes data, revealed that putative J. cedrus from Madeira is as distinct from J. cedrus of the Canary Islands as it is from J. oxycedrus. These data support the recognition of the Madeira juniper at the specific level, J. maderensis (Menezes).
