Torreya Arn,a small genus of Taxaceae,consists of six species occurring in North America and eastern Asia.Several phylogenetic studies have previously been undertaken to reveal relationships within this genus,although...
DNA barcoding is a useful tool for species identification using standardized genomic DNA fragments. The genus Amentotaxus, consisting of five or six species, is confined to South China, Northeast India, Laos, and Viet...
