Table 4. Information content of bamboo and Dianthus genetic marker datasets comprised of 43 and 14 DNA sequences respectively.
Sequences were obtained from life specimens, product samples and GenBank. Length (Len), conserved (Con), variable (Var), parsimony informative (PaI) and singleton (Sin) characters as well as the number of haplotypes (Hap) are listed for cytoplasmic markers (rbcLa, rbcLb and matK-KIM) and combinations (rbcL = rbcLa + rbcLb and r+m = rbcLa + rbcLb + matK-KIM). For Dianthus the same information is listed for a nuclear (ITS) marker: one simple dataset only containing sequences of species also present in the cytoplasmic datasets and one extended dataset (a) including all available ITS GenBank sequences of Dianthus.
