Effectiveness of DNA Barcoding in discriminating Daniellia ogea (Harms) Rolfe ex Holland and Daniellia oliveri (Rolfe) Hutch. & Dalziel

Daniellia ogea and Daniellia oliveri are important tree species indigenous to Nigeria and have been used economically in various dimensions. To clearly understand their taxonomic affinity, there is need for characteristic evaluation at both morphological and molecular levels. Morphological characterization of the species has been done to some extent, but there is limited information on the molecular discrimination. This study was designed to assess the possibility of using DNA barcodes for taxonomic differentiation of the two tree species. Forty-Six (46) sequences representing three barcode lo... Mehr ...
