Use of the psbA-trnH region to authenticate medicinal species of Fabaceae.
Fabaceae is a huge family that contains a large number of medicinal plants, many of which are commonly used in Chinese traditional medicine. However, traditional taxonomy has not been able to meet the complicated demands of species discrimination within Fabaceae.

Chloroplast Phylogenomics and Barcode Discovery in Medicinal <i>Stachys</i> Species Reveal Evolutionary Relationships and Adaptive Signatures. [PDF]
This study presents the first complete chloroplast genomes of two medicinally important Stachys species, S. persica and S. germanica. Comparative phylogenomic analyses revealed highly conserved genomes with lineage‐specific variations, identified hypervariable regions as candidate DNA barcodes, and detected signatures of positive selection in the petB ...

DNA barcoding ferns in an unexplored tropical montane cloud forest area of southeast Oaxaca, Mexico
DNA barcoding can be useful for species identification and phylogenetic analysis, but its effectivity has not been verified in most neotropical cloud forest plants.

Phylogeographic patterns of Calophyllum Braziliense Camb. (Calophyllaceae)based on the psbA-trnH cpDNA locus [PDF]
Background Past climate changes have severely influenced the current distribution of species and their genetic diversity. Phylogeography is the study of the principles and processes governing the geographic distributions of genealogical lineages [1]. South America has the world’s largest area of swamps, floodplains and wetlands in general [2]. Brazil’s

Intraspecific Inversion in psbA-trnH Region and its Implication for DNA Barcoding: Case Study of Capparis spinosa L. Group [PDF]
DNA barcoding is one of the developing methods in molecular systematics for the identification of species. psbA- trnH is one of the most variable noncoding regions of chloroplast genome and a standard DNA barcode for plant species. However, intraspecific

Intraspecific inversions pose a challenge for the trnH-psbA plant DNA barcode. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The chloroplast trnH-psbA spacer region has been proposed as a prime candidate for use in DNA barcoding of plants because of its high substitution rate.

PTIGS-IdIt, a system for species identification by DNA sequences of the psbA-trnH intergenic spacer region [PDF]
DNA barcoding technology, which uses a short piece of DNA sequence to identify species, has wide ranges of applications. Until today, a universal DNA barcode marker for plants remains elusive. The rbcL and matK regions have been proposed as the "core barcode" for plants and the ITS2 and psbA-trnH intergenic spacer (PTIGS) regions were later added as ...

Phylogenetic Diversity Outperforms Functional Diversity in Predicting Aboveground Biomass Across Tree Strata in a Subtropical Forest. [PDF]
Conducted in a subtropical forest in southwestern China, this study evaluates how various dimensions of plant biodiversity regulate aboveground biomass (AGB) across forest strata under consistent edaphic and topographic conditions, addressing the insufficiently elucidated question of which biodiversity dimension most prominently impacts AGB ...
