Abstract
⺠The pattern of cloned ITS region suggests allopolyploid origin of invasive Centaurea stoebe. ⺠The hybridization might have triggered shift from monocarpic to polycarpic life cycle. ⺠This in turn may explain the colonization success of the tetraploids. ⺠The results show deep split of the C. paniculata and C. stoebe groups. ⺠Molecular dating indicates a young diversification within the C. stoebe group.
