The genetic basis of floral variation in Senecio jacobaea (Asteraceae)
The self-incompatible composite Senecio Jacobaea (ragwort) exhibits geographic variation in the frequency of rayed and discoid (rayless) individuals. Hybrid progenies from within- and between-morph crosses were established in a seminatural (garden) environment to determine whether patterns of segregation conform to single-gene predictions (as found in other Senecio species), whether the direction
