ycf1-ndhF genes, the most promising plastid genomic barcode, sheds light on phylogeny at low taxonomic levels in Prunus persica.

To this end, we put forward the domain of the two-locus ycf1-ndhF genes as the most promising coding plastid DNA barcode in P. persica at low taxonomic levels. We believe that the discovering of further variable loci with high evolutionary rates is extremely useful and potential uses as a DNA barcode in P. persica for further phylogeny study and species identification.
