Efficiency of ITS Sequences for DNA Barcoding in Passiflora (Passifloraceae)

DNA barcoding is a technique for discriminating and identifying species using short, variable, and standardized DNA regions. Here, we tested for the first time the performance of plastid and nuclear regions as DNA barcodes in Passiflora. This genus is a largely variable, with more than 900 species o...
