Abstract:Cryptic species comprise two or more taxa that are grounded under a single name because they are more-or-less indistinguishable morphologically. These species are potentially important for detailed assessments of biodiversity, but there now appear to be many more cryptic species than previously estimated. One taxonomic group likely to contain many cryptic species is Dicranopteris, a genus of forked ferns that occurs commonly along roadsides in Asia. The genus has a complex taxonomical history, and D. linearis … Show more
“…Among these PCGs, matK gene encodes the only mature enzyme related to chloroplast group II intron splicing in land plants. It is one of the most rapidly evolving genes and is widely used in phylogenetic reconstruction in angiosperms (Fan et al, 2022; Kim et al, 2019; Kuo et al, 2011; Wei et al, 2021). Ycf1 is a coding region containing long tandem repeats.…”
