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 …

Bemisia tabaci has long been considered a complex species. It rose to global prominence in
the 1980s owing to the global invasion by the commonly named B biotype. Since then, the …

Within uncharacterized groups, DNA barcodes, short DNA sequences that are present in a
wide range of species, can be used to assign organisms into species. We propose an …

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

Background The plant working group of the Consortium for the Barcode of Life
recommended the two-locus combination of rbcL+ matK as the plant barcode, yet the …

MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a literature survey using the Web of Science
research tool, limited to the scientific articles published between 2006 and 2013, and using …

Numerous adverse reactions have arisen following the use of inaccurately identified
medicinal plant ingredients, resulting in conditions such as aristolochic acid nephropathy …

Comprising a substantial part of living biomass on earth, ants are integral to the functioning
of terrestrial ecosystems. More than 12,000 species have been described to date, and it is …

More than 230,000 known species representing 31 metazoan phyla populate the world's
oceans. Perhaps another 1,000,000 or more species remain to be discovered. There is …

DNA barcoding is a technique for identifying organisms based on a short, standardized
fragment of genomic DNA. The standardized sequence region is called a DNA barcode …
