Journal ArticleDOI

A DNA barcode for land plants.

Peter M. Hollingsworth, +55 more
TL;DR: The 2-locus combination of rbcL+matK will provide a universal framework for the routine use of DNA sequence data to identify specimens and contribute toward the discovery of overlooked species of land plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Choosing and Using a Plant DNA Barcode

TL;DR: The process of selecting and refining a plant barcode is reviewed; the factors which influence the discriminatory power of the approach are evaluated; some early applications of plant barcoding are described and summarise major emerging projects; and outline tool development that will be necessary for plant DNA barcode to advance.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of algorithms for the identification of specimens using DNA barcodes: examples from gymnosperms

TL;DR: Two novel alignment‐free algorithmic solutions (DOME ID and ATIM) are offered to identify query sequences for the purposes of DNA barcoding and application of DNABarcoding to sequences of CITES listed cycads provides an example of the potential application of science to enforcement of conservation laws.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent Synchronous Radiation of a Living Fossil

TL;DR: It is shown that cycads underwent a near synchronous global rediversification beginning in the late Miocene, followed by a slowdown toward the Recent, rejecting the hypothesized role of dinosaurs in generating extant diversity and the designation of today’s cycad species as living fossils.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA barcoding in the cycadales: testing the potential of proposed barcoding markers for species identification of cycads.

TL;DR: A workflow for DNA barcoding is suggested, including database generation and management, which will ultimately be necessary if the authors are to succeed in establishing a universal DNA barcode for plants.
