In order to compare the efficiency of morphological traits and molecular markers in distinguishing the Consolida species, molecular analysis using nrDNA ITS and cpDNA trnL-trnF with maximum parsimony and Bayesian methods were done in a total of 34 species and forma representing 28 species of Consolida, 6 species of Aconitella, plus two species of Delphinium and two species of Aconitum as out gr...

Polygalaceae is a large family with cosmopolitan distribution, comprising ca. 1,200 species in 27 genera. However, similar to many plant groups, the identification of mostly depends on floral and fruit characteristics; therefore, DNA barcoding could easily warrant corect sterile material. In current study, utility six widely employed barcode loci, namely rbcL, matK, trnL-F region (including trn...

The genetic backgrounds of many Citrus varieties are quite complex. Classifications and phylogenetic relationships of Citrus species have become the focus of researchs. Some conserved genes of chloroplast genome's research have been proven effective in determining the biosources of hybrids and phylogenetic analysis. Thus, we studied variations among the chloroplast trnL gene sequences of 10 Cit...

the taxonomic and phylogenetic status of several taxa previously recognized as subspecies inastragalus sect. anthylloidei is re-assessed based on dna sequences and morphologicalfeatures. we focused on astragalus ebenoides (subsp. ebenoides and subsp. naghadehensis),astragalus murinus (subsp. murins and subsp. bornmuelleri), astragalus remotiflorus (subsp.remotiflorus and subsp. melanogramma), a...

Variability within eight cpDNA introns including trnS-trnfM, trnL-trnT, trnH-psbA, trnF-trnL, trnD-trnT, trnCrpoB, rps16 and matK, and the nuclear waxy introns was examined in seven species of Capsicum (C. annuum, C. baccatum, C. chinense, C. frutescens, C. pubescens, C. chacoense and C. rhomboideum) in order to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing these loci for DNA barcoding within the C. an...
