Abstract excerpt
The trnL-trnF intergenic spacer of cpDNA has been sequenced from 38 tree samples representing 23 Coffea taxa and the related genus Psilanthus. These sequences were used for phylogenetic reconstruction using parsimony analyses. The results suggest a radial mode of speciation and a recent origin in Africa for the genus Coffea. Phylogenetic relationships inferred from the cpDNA analysis suggest several major clades,...
