Competing Interests
Some funding to this work was provided by the commercial company Nature. However, this funding was approved by the Minister of Culture under a law that gives tax exceptions to companies that support important collections such as libraries and so on. In our particular case funding was provided to our group to create a DNA bank of plant species of the Atlantic Rain Forest. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
