Incorporating trnH-psbA to the core DNA barcodes improves significantly species discrimination within southern African Combretaceae [PDF]
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

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.

A two-locus global DNA barcode for land plants: the coding rbcL gene complements the non-coding trnH-psbA spacer region. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: A useful DNA barcode requires sufficient sequence variation to distinguish between species and ease of application across a broad range of taxa.

Unique haplotypes of cacao trees as revealed by trnH-psbA chloroplast DNA. [PDF]
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.

Utility of the trnH–psbA region for DNA barcoding of Aconitum anthora L. and related taxa
Aim. The genus Aconitum is represented in the Carpathian region by a significant number of endemic species. Some of these species, in particular A. pseudanthora and A. jacquinii, are included in the Red List of Ukraine.

Sequence diversification of 45S rRNA ITS, trnH-psbA spacer, and matK genic regions in several Allium species [PDF]
Allium is a very diverse genus with over 600 species distributed worldwide. Haplotype analyses of 45S rRNA ITS, trnH-psbA spacer, and matK gene sequences in 9 Allium species were carried out, subsequent to which phylogenetic relations of the nine species were also analyzed.

Efficiency of matK, rbcL, trnH-psbA, and trnL-F (cpDNA) to Molecularly Authenticate Philippine Ethnomedicinal Apocynaceae Through DNA Barcoding. [PDF]
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.

Molecular identification of medicinal plants with amplicon length polymorphism using universal DNA barcodes of the atpF–atpH, trnL and trnH–psbA regions [PDF]
Amplification success and species discrimination efficiency of universal DNA barcode primers (trnH-psbA, trnL, ycf1b, atpF-atpH, matK and rbcL) was evaluated in 46 representative medicinal plant species of 28 families on agarose gel. The results showed that amplicons length polymorphism revealed by the primers atpF-atpH, trnH-psbA and trnL can ...
