Description
VILLANUEVA-VIRAMONTES, Sara et al. Wild Vanilla planifolia and its relatives in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula: Systematic analyses with ISSR and ITS. Bot. sci [online]. 2017, vol. 95, n. 2, pp. 169-187. ISSN 2007-4476. https://doi. org/10.17129/botsci. 668.
Background:
Vanilla planifolia, a threatened species, is distributed naturally in semi-deciduous and evergreen rain forests of southeastern Mexico and parts of Central America. In the wild, it is difficult to diagnose from another sympatric Vanilla species, and individuals with reproductive structures are usually required.
Questions:
Can ISSR discriminate wild individuals of Vanilla planifolia from other sympatric species of the genus? Can phylogenetic analyses of ITS recover the monophyly of V. planifolia and help identify Vanilla species?
