The main aim of DNA barcoding is to establish a shared community resource of DNA
sequences that can be used for organismal identification and taxonomic clarification. This …

Contributions from paleobotany, phylogenetics, genomics, developmental biology, and
developmental genetics have yielded tremendous insight into Darwin's “abominable …

A universal barcode system for land plants would be a valuable resource, with potential
utility in fields as diverse as ecology, floristics, law enforcement and industry. However, the …

Choosing and designing primers based on available DNA sequence data and statistical
contrasting of domains or structural features is a common routine among molecular …

Although they are relative latecomers on the evolutionary scene, having emerged only 135?
170 million years ago, angiosperms—or flowering plants—are the most diverse and species …

A phylogeny of Solanaceae is presented based on the chloroplast DNA regions ndhF and
