DNA barcoding in land plants: evaluation of rbcL in a multigene tiered approach (2006, background): “Although it has been noted that there are a number of concerns regarding the use of ITS as a locus for phylogenetic inference (Alvarez and Wendel 2003), many of these issues are of less importance to barcoding.”
Molecular phylogeny of the genus Tribonema (Xanthophyceae) using rbcL gene sequence data: monophyly of morphologically simple algal species (2005, background): “These cistrons are found in hundreds of copies in each nucleus and allelic divergence is in theory homogenized by concerted evolution (Álvarez & Wendel 2003).”
Phylogeny and Biogeography of Isophyllous Species of Campanula (Campanulaceae) in the Mediterranean Area (2006, background): “Although this is based on the use of a single marker only with known possible problems (Álvarez and Wendel 2003; Bailey et al. 2003), analyses of further molecular markers are not expected to fundamentally change this outcome.”
Intercontinental disjunctions in Cryptotaenia (Apiaceae, Oenantheae): an appraisal using molecular data (2007, methodology): “Although the use of this region in phylogenetic studies has been strongly criticized (Álvarez & Wendel, 2003), phylogenies of Apiaceae inferred from these data are generally congruent with those inferred from chloroplast markers (Downie et al., 2000b, 2001) or the intra-individual…”
Hybridization, polyploidy and invasion: lessons from Spartina (Poaceae) (2009, background): “As this phenomenon is progressive, this homogenization can be partial in a given polyploid species (Alvarez and Wendel 2003; Rauscher et al. 2004).”
A taxonomic nightmare comes true: phylogeny and biogeography of glassworts (Salicornia L., Chenopodiaceae) (2007, methodology): “ETS was choosen in this study because it is known to evolve faster than ITS (e.g., Baldwin & Markos, 1998; Markos & Baldwin, 2002; Linder & al., 2000; Álvarez & Wendel, 2003; Vander Stappen & al., 2003).”
Discriminating plant species in a local temperate flora using the rbcL+matK DNA barcode (2011, background): “…plant barcode (e.g. Kress et al. 2005; Chen et al. 2010), individuals can host numerous paralogous copies (Buckler, Ippolito, & Holtsford 1997; Álvarez & Wendel 2003; Bailey et al. 2003; King & Roalson 2008) resulting in multiple barcode haplotypes per individual or inappropriate homology…”
Comparative analysis of a large dataset indicates that internal transcribed spacer (ITS) should be incorporated into the core barcode for seed plants (2011, background): “The former two scenarios clearly suggest hybridization and introgression between closely related species or shared ancestral polymorphisms; the third scenario indicates either a lower mutation rate in plastid DNA compared with ITS or possible hybridization and introgression, as has been found by num”
Using DNA to assess errors in tropical tree identifications: How often are ecologists wrong and when does it matter? (2010, background): “We found no evidence that any of the ITS sequences represented pseudogenes (Alvarez and Wendel 2003).”
