Bryophyte molecular barcoding records.2

Abstract

DNA-barcoding revealed/confirmed the taxonomic placement and/or range extension of the following bryophytes: Campylostelium laegerae, Leptopterigynandrum austro-alpinum (taxonomic identity of South American and Asian), Scleropodium touretii (newly found in Crimea), Taxiphyllum taxiphylloides (from the Russian Far East).Резюме ДНК-маркирование позволило выявить или подтвердить таксономическое положение и/или расширение ареала для следующих видов мхов: Campylostelium laegerae, Leptopterigynandrum austro-alpinum (установлена таксономическая идентичность южноамериканских и азиатских растений), Scleropodium touretii (впервые найден в Крыму), Taxiphyllum taxiphylloides (найден на Российском Дальнем Востоке).

Bryophyte molecular barcoding records. 9

“…Since this species has not been previously recorded from Russia, we decided to check its identity with molecular barcoding. In the previous studies of the genus Campylostelium (Fedosov et al, 2017;Kuznetsova et al, 2020), we successfully used plastid gene rps4; therefore, we amplified it for the target specimen using the same protocol and primers as described by Fedosov et al (2017). Obtained rps4 sequence was compared with available GenBank data using Blast facility.…”
