Interspecific Phylogenic Relationships within Genus Melilotus Based on Nuclear and Chloroplast DNA.

Melilotus comprises 19 species, while the phylogenetic relationships between species remain unclear. In the present work, three chloroplast genes, rbcL, matK, trnL-F, and one nuclear region, ITS (internal transcribed spacer) belonging to 48 populations of 18 species of Melilotus were sequenced and p...
