Summary: This study evaluated the utility of four candidate DNA barcoding regions in seven genera of Gramineae. It found that matK and ITS showed the highest discriminatory power, while rbcL and trnL-F were less effective. The study also demonstrated the feasibility of establishing a technical system for rapid and reliable identification of these seven genera, and provided crucial reference for analyzing the genetic diversity of grass germplasm resources.

Summary: In this study, Annona cherimola specific primers based on the plant barcode gene matK were used to analyze 546 cherimoya accessions. The results showed the existence of two different haplotypes in the samples, which were associated with geographical locations. A new marker based on the trnL-F locus was designed to amplify all the samples. This information is important for analyzing and conserving the genetic diversity of cherimoya and understanding the dispersion of the crop from Central America, its center of origin.

Summary: The combination of nuclear and chloroplast barcode regions is effective for distinguishing pomegranate genotypes. The use of molecular, biochemical, and morphological markers has complementary functions. Exclusion of similar genotypes based on different markers helps to reduce collection size, especially when building a core collection.

Summary: This study investigates the phylogenetic relationships of Indian Daphne species based on nuclear and plastid sequences. The results support the monophyly of the genus Daphne and reveal two major well-supported clades. The study also confirms the relationship between the narrow endemic species D. thanguensis and the morphologically similar D. tangutica, and supports the independent species status of D. retusa and D. tangutica.

Summary: This study investigated the micromorphological characteristics of Smilax plants in Ecuador and confirmed their genus through DNA barcode analysis. The results demonstrated that the micromorphological evaluation of leaf cross sections and DNA barcoding were effective methods for species identification and phylogenetic analysis of Smilax plants.

Summary: Opuntia tehuacana and Opuntia olmeca have been considered the same species due to their morphological similarity, but detailed studies were lacking. This research indicates that O. olmeca and O. tehuacana might indeed be the same species.

Summary: This study aims to develop a DNA reference library of Indonesian banana species, varieties and cultivars to understand genetic relationships and reconstruct phylogenetic trees. Three barcoding markers (rbcl, matK and trnL-F) were used to differentiate among A and B genomes. The rbcL marker can only distinguish at the genus level, while matK and trnL-F can be used at species level.

Summary: Camellia is the largest and most important genus in the family Theaceae, with many species having economic, ornamental, and ecological value. Due to interspecific hybridization and polyploidy, determining the phylogenetic relationships of these species has been challenging. In this study, four chloroplast genomic regions were used as markers to investigate the phylogeny and interspecies relationships of 161 species in Camellia. The results showed that the species could be grouped into 13 clades, supporting the idea that these species form paraphyletic groups. This study also demonstrated the usefulness of sequencing chloroplast markers in resolving taxonomic positions of related species and providing valuable genetic information for species identification and phylogenetic reconstruction.

Summary: This study sequenced and characterized the nearly complete mitochondrial genomes of moths from six major lineages, providing insights into their phylogenetic relationships. The analysis revealed a slightly different pattern from previous studies and identified previously unassigned tribes within the Geometridae family. The study contributes to our understanding of moth phylogeny and has implications for further research in phylogeography and pest control.

Summary: A new species, Curculigo konkanensis, is described from Maharashtra, India, and it is closely related to C. brevifolia and C. orchioides but differs in various characteristics. Cytological parameters, karyotype formula, and DNA analysis support the distinction of C. konkanensis, C. brevifolia, and C. orchioides. Plastid DNA data places the new species in the Curculigo orchoides subclade and shows its phylogenetic affinity with Curculigo brevifolia.

Summary: Theriophonum blumei is a newly described species based on morphological and genetic analysis. It is similar to another species, T. sivaganganum, in appearance but differs in various characteristics. Molecular analysis also shows significant genetic distinction between T. blumei and T. sivaganganum.

Summary: The study focuses on the taxonomic position of Codonoblepharon and its phylogenetic relationships within Orthotrichoideae. Based on phylogenetic reconstruction using four different loci, it is confirmed that Codonoblepharon belongs to a separate lineage and a new tribe, Codonoblepharonteae, is proposed.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the ability of DNA barcodes (matK and trnL-trnL-trnF IGS) in distinguishing some tropical fruit plants. The results showed that the matK and trnL-trnL-trnF IGS sequences can differentiate species such as S. ferox, A. microcarpum, and A. pauciflorum. However, both DNA barcodes were unable to differentiate between terung asam and terung bulu types of S. ferox.
