From: Morphological, genotypic and metabolomic signatures confirm interfamilial hybridization between the ubiquitous kelps Macrocystis (Arthrothamnaceae) and Lessonia (Lessoniaceae)

Figure 1

Wild interfamilial Macrocystis x Lessonia specimen. (a) Geographical location of the sympatric M. pyrifera and L. spicata in Mar Brava, Chiloe Island, Chile. (b) Representative landscape of the Macrocystis (blue arrow) and Lessonia (red arrow) assemblages in the intertidal of Mar Brava. (c) Full morphology of the hybrid Macrocystis x Lessonia in the field, pointing out the holdfast with unfused-thick haptera (purple arrow). Inset: ITS1 amplicon pattern on an electrophoresis gel for M. pyrifera (Mp), L. spicata (Lp) and the hybrid (hyb) from this locality. (−): negative control.
