ABSTRACT DNA barcoding is currently a widely used and effective tool that enables rapid
and accurate identification of plant species; however, none of the available loci work across …

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA is one of the most commonly
used DNA markers in plant phylogenetic and DNA barcoding analyses, and it has been …

A DNA barcode is a DNA fragment used to identify species. For land plants, DNA fragments
of plastid genome could be the primary consideration. Unfortunately, most of the plastid …

DNA barcoding is an emerging molecular identification and classification technology that
has been applied to medicinal plants since 2008. The application of this technique has …

The analysis of food webs and their dynamics facilitates understanding of the mechanistic
processes behind community ecology and ecosystem functions. Having accurate techniques …

DNA barcodes have provided a new biological tool for organismal biologists to increase
their understanding of the natural world. Over the last decade four plant DNA barcode …

The main aim of DNA barcoding is to establish a shared community resource of DNA
