Coding and noncoding plastid DNA in palm systematics
CB Asmussen, MW Chase - American journal of botany, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
Plastid DNA sequences evolve slowly in palms but show that the family is monophyletic and
highly divergent relative to other major monocot clades. It is therefore difficult to place the …
