Variation in chromosome number and breeding systems: implications for diversification in Pachycereus pringlei (Cactaceae) [PDF]
Polyploidy, the possession of more than two sets of chromosomes, is a major biological process affecting plant evolution and diversification. In the Cactaceae, genome doubling has also been associated with reproductive isolation, changes in breeding ...

Mating system of Pachycereus pringlei: an autotetraploid cactus [PDF]
The mating system of the Mexican subdioecious columnar cactus, Pachycereus pringlei (Cardon), was examined by allozyme analysis. Tetrasomic patterns of inheritance were found for all polymorphic loci, indicating that the species is an autotetraploid.
