Taraxacum spp. genetic diversity. Neighbor-joining tree of genetic distances88,92 between the T. kok-saghyz (TKS) populations used in this study captured with gSSRs (left panel), TKS eSSRs dataset of McAssey et al.32 (middle panel), and US T. officinale using chosen gSSRs of this study (right panel). Neighbor-joining trees were generated using the Prevosti algorithm93 with 1,000 permuted randomizations. Bootstrap support exceeding 70% is indicated. The computed genetic distance scales are placed on top of each respective tree.
