Plant DNA barcodes can accurately estimate species richness in poorly known floras. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Widespread uptake of DNA barcoding technology for vascular plants has been slow due to the relatively poor resolution of species discrimination (∼70%) and low sequencing and amplification success of one of the two official barcoding loci ...

Phylogenetic position and revised classification of Acacia s.l. (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) in Africa, including new combinations in Vachellia and Senegalia [PDF]
, 2013 Previous phylogenetic studies have indicated that Acacia Miller s.l. is polyphyletic and in need of reclassification. A proposal to conserve the name Acacia for the larger Australian contingent of the genus (formerly subgenus Phyllodineae) resulted in ...

Authentication of Illicium verum using a DNA barcode psbA-trnH
Journal of Medicinal Plants Research, 2012 The objective of this research was to test an appropriate DNA barcode from four candidate barcoding loci (matK, rbcL, psbA-trnH and ITS2) for discrimination between Illicium verumand its congeneric toxic adulterants in trade. Twenty fresh samples from 8 species of the genera Illicium were collected from four areas of China, and two samples of medicinal
