Abstract excerpt
Accurate plant species identification underpins taxonomy, conservation, ecological monitoring, and the authentication of medicinal and food resources. While classical morphology-based approaches often struggle with cryptic or closely related taxa, DNA barcoding has emerged as a standardized molecular framework for species identification. In plants, core plastid markers such as rbcL and matK, together with nuclear...
