Abstract excerpt
We sequenced the first ca. 900 bp of the 5'-trnL(UAA)-trnV(UAC)/ndhJ region of the chloroplast DNA of different Microseris accessions in order to resolve homoplasious length variation detected in the trnL(UAA)-trnF(GAA) region. We found two to four tandemly repeated trnF genes in the species of Microseris (Asteraceae, Lactuceae) and two in their sister genus Uropappus. Sequences indicated nonhomologous...
