Table 2 Assignment success for matK, rpoC1, rpoB, and trnH-psbA given alone and arranged according to all possible combinations

From: Evolutionary histories determine DNA barcoding success in vascular plants: seven case studies using intraspecific broad sampling of closely related species

  1. Opt. for Option. Option1: matK + rpoC1; Option2: matK + rpoB; Option3: matK+ trnH-psbA; Option4: rpoC1 + rpoB; Option5: rpoC1 + trnH-psbA; Option6: rpoB + trnH-psbA; Option7: matK + rpoC1 + rpoB; Option8: matK + rpoC1 + trnH-psbA; Option9: matK + rpoB + trnH-psbA; Option10: rpoC1 + rpoB + trnH-psbA; Option11: matK + rpoC1 + rpoB + trnH-psbA. Number of individuals successfully amplified and sequenced, number of total different sequences within the genus and the ones that are private to a single species, and number of individuals harbouring species’ private sequences. The statistics are given for the seven genera separately (n is the number of sampled individuals). The best DNA barcode(s) are highlighted in grey for each genus
