“…To ensure accuracy, researchers often employ a multilocus approach utilizing various DNA markers (Saddhe and Kumar 2018; Abubakar et al 2017; Li et al 2011). We evaluated the efficacy of sixteen sets of primers targeting different regions in the nuclear and plastid genomes of plants, including commonly used markers such as matK, rbcL, trnH-psbA, Ar matk (Cuenoud et al 2002), rpoB, rpoC (Kurian et al 2020, Sass et al 2007), rpoB-trnCGAR (Anerao et al 2021), psbZ-trnfM (Kurian et al 2020; Scarcelli et al 2011), trnHpsbA (Kurian et al 2020; Kress et al 2005), psbK (Kurian et al 2020; Lee et al 2007), rbcL (Fatima et al 2019), PRK (Lewis and Doyle 2002), RPB2, ITS2, ATP (Kurian et al 2020), ndhF-rpl32 (Sass et al 2007), MatK2 (Cuenoud P et al 2002), psbA-trnH (Chandrasekara et al 2021, Sang et al 1997), Ar rbcL (Jeanson M L et al2011), and DI ITS (Fatima et al 2019)…”
