摘要

The depauperate and paleopolyploid family Myristicaceae face challenges for correct species identification. Majority rule consensus trees of morphomatrix of NER species reflected diagnostic group traits (ca. 41.70%) and variable traits ( ca. 58.30%) respectively. Amplification and sequencing success rates with DNA barcode loci rbcL, matK and, trnL-F were > 90% while 45% and 76% with psbA-trnH, respectively in Horsfieldia and Knema. 178 sequences of 8 species of the region were submitted to GenBank including trnL-F spacer mostly for the first time. The highest parsimony informative sites were exhibited by trnL-F and highest variable sites by matK. Mean inter-specific distances with trnL-F, matK + trnL-F in Horsfieldia and with psbA-trnH, rbcL + trnL-F in Knema were ≥ 2 times mean intraspecific distances. trnL-F in Horsfieldia and rbcL + trnL-F in Knema, and trnL-F + psbA-trnH in Horsfieldia and Knema showed barcode gaps. Identification success by ‘best match’ was 98% with matK + trnL-F and 96–97% with trnL-F + psbA-trnH in Horsfieldia and Knema. The Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian Inference (BI) trees with trnL-F and BI tree with trnL-F + psbA-trnH was monophyletic and resolved 100% and 60% species. Dynamic DNA QR codes generated with Knema erratica-matK, Horsfieldia kingii-psbA-trnH, Endocomia macrocoma subsp. prainii-trnL-F. The loci trnL-F, trnL-F + psbA-trnH were exhibited as candidate barcodes, additionally matK + trnL-F for Horsfieldia and rbcL + trnL-F for Knema. The DNA barcode library of NER Myristicaceae would aid in species identification, ecological variation and conservation biology.
