Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A popular horticulture plant, Rhododendron indicum is distributed along river in Kanto to Kinki districts and Yakushima Island of Japan in wild. By analysing evolutionary process of R. indicum, individuals in the two regions are not phylogenetically close, but close to R. kaempferi. It is suggested a possibility that R. indicum had been evolved from R. kaempferi at least twice. Its characteristic ecology may have been formed by natural selection due to riparian habitat, the species grows.
