Plant taxonomy is an ancient discipline facing new challenges
with the current availability of a vast array of molecular
approaches which allow reliable genealogy-based classifications.
Although the primary focus of plant taxonomy is on the
delimitation of species, molecular approaches also provide a
better understanding of evolutionary processes, a particularly
important issue for some taxonomic complex
groups.

Protocolsdescribes laboratory protocols based on the
use of nucleic acids and chromosomes for plant taxonomy, as well
as guidelines for phylogenetic analysis of molecular data.
Experts in the field also contribute review and application
chapters that will encourage the reader to develop an integrative
taxonomy approach, combining nucleic acid and cytogenetic data
together with other crucial information (taxonomy, morphology,
anatomy, ecology, reproductive biology, biogeography,
paleobotany), which will help not only to best circumvent species
delimitation but also to resolve the evolutionary processes in
play. Written in the successful
