ITS and trnH-psbA as Efficient DNA Barcodes to Identify Threatened Commercial Woody Angiosperms from Southern Brazilian Atlantic Rainforests
The Araucaria Forests in southern Brazil are part of the Atlantic Rainforest, a key hotspot for global biodiversity. This habitat has experienced extensive losses of vegetation cover due to commercial logging and the intense use of wood resources for construction and furniture manufacturing. The absence of precise taxonomic tools for identifying Araucaria Forest tree species motivated us to tes...
متن کاملIncorporating trnH-psbA to the core DNA barcodes improves significantly species discrimination within southern African Combretaceae
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 the addition of complementary barcodes (nrITS and trnH-psbA) to the core barcodes will affect the performance of the core barcodes in discrimi...
متن کاملUtility of the trnH–psbA Intergenic Spacer Region and Its Combinations as Plant DNA Barcodes: A Meta-Analysis
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 barcodes is lacking. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Sequences were searched from GenBank for a meta-analysis on the usefulness of trnH-psbA and its...
متن کاملUnique haplotypes of cacao trees as revealed by trnH-psbA chloroplast DNA.
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. Genetic relationships were established by two analysis approaches based on geographic origin (five populations) and genetic origin (based on ...
متن کاملDNA microsatellite markers for Swartzia glazioviana (Fabaceae), a threatened species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Development and characterization of a set of DNA microsatellite markers for Swartzia glazioviana (Fabaceae), a naturally rare and threatened tree species, were carried out to investigate its conservation genetics. METHODS AND RESULTS Through an enriched genomic library procedure, 10 DNA microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for the species. The mean expected...
