The tortoise and the hare: choosing between noncoding plastome and nuclear Adh sequences for phylogeny reconstruction in a recently diverged plant group
Phylogenetic resolution is often low within groups of recently diverged taxa due to a paucity
of phylogenetically informative characters. We tested the relative utility of seven noncoding …
