DNA barcode trnH-psbA is a promising candidate for efficient identification of forage legumes and grasses [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2020 Objective Grasslands are widespread ecosystems that fulfil many functions. Plant species richness (PSR) is known to have beneficial effects on such functions and monitoring PSR is crucial for tracking the effects of land use and agricultural management ...

Incorporating trnH-psbA to the core DNA barcodes improves significantly species discrimination within southern African Combretaceae [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2013 Recent studies indicate that the discriminatory power of the core DNA barcodes (rbcLa + matK) for land plants may have been overestimated since their performance have been tested only on few closely related species. In this study we focused mainly on how

Universal barcoding regions, rbcL, matK and trnH-psbA do not discriminate Cinnamomum species in Sri Lanka. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2021 The genus Cinnamomum consists of about 250 species spread globally. Out of these, C. verum (C. zeylanicum), also known as true cinnamon or Ceylon cinnamon, has gained worldwide attention due to its culinary uses and medicinal values.

Unique haplotypes of cacao trees as revealed by trnH-psbA chloroplast DNA. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Cacao trees have been cultivated in Mesoamerica for at least 4,000 years. In this study, we analyzed sequence variation in the chloroplast DNA trnH-psbA intergenic spacer from 28 cacao trees from different farms in the Soconusco region in southern Mexico.

Intraspecific inversions pose a challenge for the trnH-psbA plant DNA barcode. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 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.

Utility of the trnH-psbA intergenic spacer region and its combinations as plant DNA barcodes: a meta-analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: The trnH-psbA intergenic spacer region has been used in many DNA barcoding studies. However, a comprehensive evaluation with rigorous sequence preprocessing and statistical testing on the utility of trnH-psbA and its combinations as DNA ...

Efficiency of matK, rbcL, trnH-psbA, and trnL-F (cpDNA) to Molecularly Authenticate Philippine Ethnomedicinal Apocynaceae Through DNA Barcoding. [PDF]
Pharmacogn Mag, 2016 Background: The Philippines is home to some ethnomedicinal Apocynaceae that has been used to cure common ailments. They are perceived to be safe, but misidentification can lead to substitution and adulteration.
