The Phylogenetic Reconstruction of the Grass Family (Poaceae) Using matK Gene Sequences

Comparative DNA sequencing of matK, a maturase-encoding gene located within the intron of the chloroplast trnK gene, was evaluated for phylogenetic utility above the family level and within the grass family (Poaceae). There are three major objectives in the research. The first one is to study the...
