Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a complex of economically valuable medicinal plants in the Philippines, which has a confusing taxonomic history.
- Researchers sequenced chloroplast genomes of five species to clarify their classifications, leading to the proposal of reinstating Moldenke and recognizing a new hybrid species.
- The new species is mainly cultivated for its medicinal use and is described alongside a key for identifying the five species in the complex.
Next-generation sequencing requires intact and high-quality DNA. However, typical liquid-nitrogen DNA extraction methods are expensive and not practical for field sample collections. Hence, we present a cost-effective method for DNA extraction from silica-dried leaf samples, eliminating the need for liquid nitrogen.

We assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast genome of accession from the germplasm collection of the Institute of Crop Science, University of the Philippines, Los Baños, using Illumina sequencing data.
