Morphological aberrations in Typha populations in a post-thermal aquatic habitat

Morphological aberrations in Typha populations inhabiting a once thermally stressed aquatic system on the Savannah River Plant in South Carolina were investigated by using both morphological and enzymatic procedures. No evidence of hybridization or introgression between T. latifolia and T. domingensis was found. Exposures of these populations to post-thermal conditions and low levels of radiocesium were judged insignificant in contributing to the morphological differences observed. Both genotypic flexibility and plasticity appear to be critical factors in the adaptation of Typha to varied environments.
