DNA Barcoding for Honey Biodiversity
Honey is produced by honeybees from nectar and from secretions of living plants. It reflects the honeybees’ diet and the local plant communities. Honey also shows different plant compositions in different geographical locations. We propose a new method for studying the plant diversity and the geographical origin of honey using a DNA barcoding approach that combines universal primers and massive...
متن کاملDNA barcoding the floras of biodiversity hotspots.
DNA barcoding is a technique in which species identification is performed by using DNA sequences from a small fragment of the genome, with the aim of contributing to a wide range of ecological and conservation studies in which traditional taxonomic identification is not practical. DNA barcoding is well established in animals, but there is not yet any universally accepted barcode for plants. Her...
متن کاملDNA Barcoding of Mammals in Mexico: Implications for Biodiversity
The Mexican Barcode of Life (MEXBOL) project started as an initiative by researchers who wanted México to join the international DNA barcoding (iBOL) collaboration to establish a genetic system of species identification and discovery. MEXBOL has three main nodes associated with different research institutions in the northern, central, and southern parts of the country. At the beginning of 2009,...
متن کاملBarcoding biodiversity
Analysis of short, species-specific sequences known as DNA barcodes has become a widespread practice in biodiversity and ecological research, and also finds practical applications from trade control to biomedicine. One of the challenges is to ensure that the molecular information is reliably linked to physical specimens in collections.
متن کاملBarcoding helps biodiversity fly.
A n essential part of good taxonomy is correctly identifying species. With correct identification, basic research objectives (e.g., correct ecological and evolutionary interpretation; ref. 1) and many practical applications (e.g., effective fisheries management, integrated pest control programs, and the conservation of biodiversity; refs. 2 and 3) are at least attainable. Without it, the odds o...
