Morphological variation, genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra populations from Tunisia

Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra is an ecologically, medicinally and economically important species in Tunisia. Thirty-six Hypericum individuals sampled from 6 northern Tunisian locations were investigated for their diversity and relationships using 10 inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers and...
