Phylogeny of Hinterhubera Group and Related Genera (Hinterhuberinae: Astereae) Based on the nrDNA ITS and ETS Sequences.

The article presents a study which evaluates the phylogeny of Hinterhubera group and related Genera (Hinterhuberinae: Astereae) based on the nuclear DNA ITS and ETS sequences. The study uses 20 of the 30 species from the Hinterhubera group and six of seven genera to test the taxonomic changes wherein the materials used were amplified, the DNA was extracted and sequenced. The result shows that the ETS were poorly resolved and the Hinterhubera group's monophyly were not confirmed.
