Meanings
nouncoenospecies (plural coenospecies)
- biologyEither of a group of related species that are able to form (often fertile) hybrids
Here, it may be suggested that, since DT- Taq I and K1K2- Taq I can distinguish the cytoplasm (maternal lineage) of wild brassicas (used in the present study), they may be used to assess natural hybridization processes within the Brassica coenospecies.
