Integrative taxonomy supports DNA barcoding in revealing an abundant cryptic species in the United States Coastal Plain

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We present the most densely sampled phylogeny of Carex section Lupulinae to date (107 specimens) and describe herein a new cryptic species for science from the southern United States, which is locally abundant and found in well‐explored and densely populated areas. Combining DNA sequences with morphometric data obtained from 299 samples, we Demonstrate

rbcL and matK earn two thumbs up as the core DNA barcode for ferns.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundDNA barcoding will revolutionize our understanding of fern ecology, most especially because the accurate identification of the independent but cryptic gametophyte phase of the fern's life history--an endeavor previously impossible--will finally

Molecular phylogeny of Asian Meconopsis based on nuclear ribosomal and chloroplast DNA sequence data. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The taxonomy and phylogeny of Asian Meconopsis (Himalayan blue poppy) remain largely unresolved. We used the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) and the chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) trnL-F region for phylogenetic ...

Phylogeny of Chloranthus (Chloranthaceae) based on nuclear ribosomal ITS and plastid TRNL‐F sequence data [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, 2002
The internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA and trnL‐F region of the chloroplast DNA were sequenced for all ten species of Chloranthus and the outgroup Sarcandra (Chloranthaceae). Parsimony analyses of separate and combined data sets strongly suggest that Chloranthus is monophyletic and can be divided into two major clades: one ...

Validating Oxford Nanopore Technologies Amplicon Sequencing as an Alternative to Sanger Sequencing for Generating Plant Molecular Markers

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Molecular phylogenetic markers used to be ubiquitously obtained by Sanger sequencing, while recently, next generation sequencing (NGS) approaches have become popular alternatives. In this study, a pipeline utilizing Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) amplicon sequencing (amplicon‐seq) was examined as an alternative to Sanger sequencing, with nine loci [

Identifying potential adaptive SNPs within combined DNA sequences in Genus Crocus L. (Iridaceae family): A multiple analytical approach

open access: yesCaryologia, 2023
The genus Crocus L. of Iridaceae family contains about 160 species and is considered as a complex group of plant taxa with regard to evolutionary and phylogenetic events.

Chloroplast Genomes of Croton alabamensis and Croton bonplandianus (Euphorbiaceae): Comparative Analysis With Related Croton Species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Croton chloroplast genomes exhibit substantial structural diversity driven mainly by asymmetric inverted repeats (IRs) contraction and expansion, despite highly conserved gene content. IR boundary shifts predominantly involved the LSC region, indicating an LSC‐driven evolutionary pattern. The preliminary phylogenomic analyses confirmed the monophyly of
