Forest tree genomics: 10 achievements from the past 10 years and future prospects (2016, methodology): “Plastid DNA markers were also applied for species delimitation in trees (Kress and Erickson 2008); however, their power remained limited because of weak reproduc-”
DNA barcoding: a tool for improved taxon identification and detection of species diversity (2011, background): “DNA barcoding of bryophytes has previously been tested especially by Kress and Erickson (2008), but this group of plants remains challenging.”
Use of ITS2 Region as the Universal DNA Barcode for Plants and Animals (2010, neutral): “An ideal barcode should possess sufficient variation among the sequences to discriminate species; however, it also needs to be sufficiently conserved so that there is less variability within species than between species [37,38].”
Validation of the ITS2 Region as a Novel DNA Barcode for Identifying Medicinal Plant Species (2010, background): “There are two groups of potential users of DNA barcodes: plant taxonomists/systematists and scientists in other fields [14,24].”
Metabarcoding: A powerful tool to investigate microbial communities and shape future plant protection strategies (2017, methodology): “Additionally, the primers used to amplify the standardized region of the genome must produce amplicons short length in order for them to be compatible with current, High-Throughput DNA Sequencing (HTS) technologies (Kress and Erickson, 2008).”
