Morphological and molecular barcode analysis of the medicinal tree <i>Mimusops coriacea</i> (A.DC.) Miq. collected in Ecuador

Resumen

Leaf size was 13.56 ± 1.46 × 7.49 ± 0.65 cm; where is a macro-morphological description of the stem (see Methods). The peel of the seeds is dark brown. Sequence analysis revealed that amplicons were generated using the four barcodes selected. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the barcodes <i>rbc</i>L and <i>mat</i>K, were not discriminated between species within the same genus of the subfamily Sapotoideae. On the other hand, the ITS1 and ITS2 were discriminative at the level of genus and species of the Sapotoideae.
