Genotyping NS and NSK herbaria specimens of Hedysarum (Fabaceae) using DNA sequencing

Abstract

Over 2000 specimens of the genus Hedysarum L., belonging to 48 species and 4 subspecies, were digitised and placed into CSBG SB RAS Digital herbarium whilst making a digital inventory of the herbarium collections of the Central Siberian Botanical Garden (NS, NSK). Totally, 466 nucleotide sequences were determined for 136 voucher specimens using the Sanger sequencing method. DNA sequences were obtained for 25 Hedysarum taxa for the first time.
