3. • Circum-mediterranean alpine chamaephyte
• Elevation range: 1500 – 2500 m
• 2 important features:
• Polyploid karyotypes
– 2n = 24 to 2n = 192
• Phenotype variability
• Description of subspecies:
– Subsp. graffieri (Eastern mountains)
– Subsp. ciliata (Western mountains)
– Other subsp. and varieties

Introduction Past studies Current researches Future prospects
• Plastid markers support the existence of two
subspecies
• More haplotype diversity in western group
• Vicariance processes, dispersal barriers and
geographical disconnection associated to
glaciation-interglaciation periods

5. Introduction Past studies Current researches Future prospects
Silene ciliata Pourret
• During the last decade, more than 10 papers
published with the species.
• Mediterranean mountains, hotspot of
biodiversity and endemisms.
• Altitudinal gradients summarize environmental
variabilities.

Silene ciliata Pourret
• Central population
• Marginal populations
• Central – marginal theory
• Niche model prediction in Central Spain
• Populations selection, based in:
– 3 mountains
– Different population size
11. Introduction Past studies Current research Future prospects
Silene ciliata Pourret • Central – marginal theory
• Niche model prediction in Central Spain
• Populations selection
• Two complementary approaches:
Ex situ sowing
experiment at
optimum conditions in
growth chamber and
greenhouse
environment (mother
plant x type of cross x
block x pop. = 8640
seeds).
In situ sowing
experiment at the
locations of the 6
marginal populations
(mother plant x type of
cross x block x pop. =
24000 seeds)

Editor's Notes
In parallel we conducted a genetic characterization of the marginal populations using microsatellite markers
Inbreeding depression in MOR population (García-Fernández et al., 2012a).
