One of the most popular sequences for phylogenetic inference at the generic and
infrageneric levels in plants is the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the 18S–5.8 S …

Many early reports of ITS region (ITS 1, 5.8 S, and ITS 2) variation in flowering plants
indicated that nrDNA arrays within individuals are homogeneous. However, both older and …

There is currently international interest in the application of DNA barcoding as a tool for plant
species discrimination and identification. In this study, we evaluated the utility of five …

In Pinaceae, the chloroplast, mitochondrial, and nuclear genomes are paternally, maternally,
