Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Highly variable regions of chloroplast genome were found to be useful in the detection of plant genetic diversity at micro-evolution level. Our methodology will improve understanding and conservation of plant diversity. Tree peonies are famous flowers with about 2,000 cultivars in the world, belonging to Paeonia sect. Moutan of the Paeoniaceae. They are traditionally classified based on flower forms...
