Identification is a very important part of the taxonomy. Since a species represents the basic unit of biological classification, identifying species is important to understand the systematics and the precise phylogenetic position of particular species. In recent years, species identification and delimitation have seen major improvements because of the incorporation of DNA sequence data. This review provides a comprehensive list of commonly employed nuclear and chloroplast regions used for the barcoding of plants.
