Pollen DNA metabarcoding identifies regional provenance and high plant diversity in Australian honey.

Accurate identification of the botanical components of honey can be used to establish its geographical provenance, while also providing insights into honeybee ( L.) diet and foraging preferences. DNA metabarcoding has been demonstrated as a robust method to identify plant species from pollen and pollen-based products, including honey.

Different landscape effects on the genetic structure of two broadly distributed woody legumes, and (Fabaceae).

Restoring degraded landscapes has primarily focused on re-establishing native plant communities. However, little is known with respect to the diversity and distribution of most key revegetation species or the environmental and anthropogenic factors that may affect their demography and genetic structure. In this study, we investigated the genetic structure of two widespread Australian legume species ( and ) in the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), a large agriculturally utilized region in Australia, and assessed the impact of landscape structure on genetic differentiation.
