An update on chloroplast genomes (2008, methodology): “The mitochondrial cox1 gene encoding subunit 1 of cytochrome oxidase has been used for barcoding of diverse groups of animals and has also proved useful in some groups of algae (Saunders 2005).”

A molecular method for identification of the morphologically plastic invasive algal genera Eucheuma and Kappaphycus (Rhodophyta, Gigartinales) in Hawaii (2009, methodology): “PCR cycling conditions and primers followed those described in Sherwood and Presting (2007) for UPA, Saunders (2005) for COI, and Zuccarello et al. (2006) for the cox2-3 spacer.”
DNA barcoding as a tool for coral reef conservation (2007, background): “Interestingly, COI appears to have evolved at a rapid enough pace to distinguish species in the Rhodophyta (Saunders 2005; Robba et al. 2006) the Scyphozoa (Holland et al. 2004) and the Hydrozoa (Govindarajan et al. 2005).”
Recent advances in DNA taxonomy (2007, background): “Large-scale taxonomic sequencing has been performed on various groups of metazoan animals, including nematodes (Floyd et al. 2002), cowries (Meyer and Paulay 2005), tardigrades (Blaxter et al. 2004), chelicerates (Barrett and Hebert 2005), Lepidoptera (Hebert et al. 2003a; Hajibabaei et al. 2006), b”
New, resurrected and redefined species of Mastocarpus (Phyllophoraceae, Rhodophyta) from the northeast Pacific (2011, methodology): “Agardh (1851, 1876, 1899), who retained all of the Mastocarpus species in Gigartina Stackhouse 1809. Setchell & Gardner (1933) later resurrected the name but at the rank of subgenus, as Mastocarpus (Kützing) Setchell & N.L. Gardner, effectively lectotypifying the Kützing genus when they chose Gigart”
Assigning morphological variants of Fucus (Fucales, Phaeophyceae) in Canadian waters to recognized species using DNA barcoding (2008, positive): “DNA barcoding has the advantage of being an objective species identification tool in cases where identification is ambiguous and has been used in the red algae to delimit species that are morphologically similar (Saunders 2005; Robba et al. 2006).”
DNA Barcodes for Marine Biodiversity: Moving Fast Forward? (2010, background): “algae [28], fungi [29], whether using only COI and/or other DNA regions (mitochondrial, plastid, nuclear) for a better resolution.”
Towards writing the encyclopaedia of life: an introduction to DNA barcoding (2005, background): “In plants, because of the limited variation in mitochondrial DNA generally, cox1 is useful only in some algae (Saunders 2005).”
A comparison of algorithms for the identification of specimens using DNA barcodes: examples from gymnosperms (2007, background): “The mitochondrially encoded gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) has been the locus of choice for most of the recent exemplar studies (Wells and Sperling, 2001; Wells et al., 2001a,b; Hebert et al., 2003, 2004a,b; Hogg and Hebert, 2004; Whiteman et al., 2004; Ball et al., 2005; Barrett and Hebe”
DNA barcoding: how it complements taxonomy, molecular phylogenetics and population genetics. (2007, background): “In addition, DNA barcoding systems are now being established for other groups of organisms, including plants [10], macroalgae [11], fungi [12], protists [13] and bacteria [14].”

Identification of conserved regions in the plastid genome: implications for DNA barcoding and biological function (2006, neutral): “The COI region has been suggested as a DNA barcode for algae (Saunders 2005), but amplification of the region in six orders of red algae (Rhodophyta) required the use of degenerate primers (Saunders 2005).”
