EVALUATION OF DNA BARCODES IN DISCRIMINATING QUERCUS SPECIES FROM LAM DONG, VIETNAM

DNA barcoding is a tool for species discrimination and identification which helps overcome the problem of identification that cannot be covered by morphological identification. Quercus is the second biggest genus of Fagaceae in Vietnam as well as Lam Dong province after Lithocarpus. However, the spe...
