Abstract excerpt
Sequence variation in 2.2 kb of non-coding regions of the chloroplast genome of eight dandelions (Taraxacum: Lactuceae) from Asia and Europe is interpreted in the light of the phylogenetic signal of base substitutions vs. indels (insertions-deletions). The four non-coding regions displayed a total of approximately 30 structural mutations of which 9 are potentially phylogenetically informative. Insertions,...
