Relationship between Taraxacum species-specific markers and their functions in species differentiation studies. Chloroplast species-specific markers of Taraxacum kok-saghyz (TK), T. officinale (TO) and T. brevicorniculatum (TB) are inherited maternally, which can be used to differentiate TB and TK from TO, as well as track the maternal ancestors of potential ♀ TK x TO ♂ and ♀ TO x TK ♂ hybrids in the absence of parental information. Nuclear species-specific markers can be used to differentiate TK from TO, as well as TK and TO from their hybrid progeny
