abstract = "Scotch broom, Cytisus scoparius, spreads rapidly in parts of Denmark and is considered an invasive species by someauthors. However, the species has been present in the Danish flora for centuries and is therefore considered nativeto Denmark. In the present study we explore whether Danish Scotch broom consists of one or two gene pools withpotential differences in phenotype and invasiveness. One plastid and five nuclear microsatellite markers were usedto reveal potential substructuring of Danish Scotch broom. Nine populations were included representing populationsexhibiting invasive behaviour and populations showing non-invasive behaviour. An Italian population wasused as reference. Bayesian analysis based on genetic markers indicated that the sampled populations form twodistinct gene pools, and this pattern was supported by neighbour-joining trees. Measurements of height and widthof the analysed plants showed that the two gene pools correspond to populations exhibiting either a horizontalhabit and non-invasive behaviour or an erect habit and, in some cases, invasive behaviour. The Italian populationclustered with the erect ones. We discuss the origin and taxonomic status of the two gene pools and conclude thatDanish horizontal Scotch broom should be given a formal taxonomic status in order to initiate conservationactivities for its protection.",
