Hybridization and polyploidization are important evolutionary processes in all plants. They lead to the formation of
polyploid genotypes, their stabilization to the form of established species is often possible due to the shift of
reproduction modes from sexual to apomictic (clonal). Such plant systems have usually weak reproduction
barriers, which further accelerates the diversification of the entire system. One such plant group is the genus
Sorbus.
