Abstract excerpt
Telling species apart using DNA sequence data plays a key role in understanding, monitoring, and managing biodiversity. However, plant species discrimination is often difficult due to the complex nature of plant species boundaries. To inform future strategies for DNA-based identification of plants using the nuclear genome and to gain fundamental insights into the genomic nature of differences between plant...
