Phylogeographic analysis of the genus Dracaena (Asparagaceae) in Macaronesia. Dracaena study

We analyzed plastidial DNA to infer the biogeographic connections of dragon tree species in Macaronesia (Dracaena draco (L.)L. and D. tamaranae Marrero Rodr., R.S. Almeida & M. González-Martín) with East African and Arabian arborescent species of Dracaena, as well as its genetic diversity in Macaronesia.At interspecific level, we selected four plastid regions: matK, rbcL, rpl32-trnL(UAG), trnQ (UUG)-5´rps16; and at intraspecific level, we used three plastid regions: psbJ-petA, psbD-trnT (GGU), rpl32-trnL(UAG)
