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 …

During the last few decades, the use of molecular markers, revealing polymorphism at the
DNA level, has been playing an increasing part in plant biotechnology and their genetics …

Background Camellia is an economically and phylogenetically important genus in the family
Theaceae. Owing to numerous hybridization and polyploidization, it is taxonomically and …

▪ Abstract Plant adaptation to serpentine soil has been a topic of study for many decades, yet
investigation of the genetic component of this adaptation has only recently begun. We …

The internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of the nuclear ribosomal 18S–5.8 S–26S cistron
continue to be the most popular non-plastid region for species-level phylogenetic studies of …

The extent and evolutionary significance of hybridization is difficult to evaluate because of
the difficulty in distinguishing hybridization from incomplete lineage sorting. Here we present …

DNA barcoding based on the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 (cox1) sequence is
being employed for diverse groups of animals with demonstrated success in species …

The eudicot order Malpighiales contains∼ 16000 species and is the most poorly resolved
large rosid clade. To clarify phylogenetic relationships in the order, we used maximum …

Background Molecular systematics occupies one of the central stages in biology in the
genomic era, ushered in by unprecedented progress in DNA technology. The inference of …

Background Although the overwhelming majority of genes found in angiosperms are
members of gene families, and both gene-and genome-duplication are pervasive forces in …
