PD (phylogenetic distance) and monophyletic value is based on a PHYML tree of small subunit rRNA of all the 666 genomes in the study. The total PD of the ssu-rRNA tree is 82.70.
Premise of the study: We developed primers targeting nuclear loci in Castilleja with the goal of reconstructing the evolutionary history of this challenging clade. These primers were tested across oth
