Radix Astragali is a popular herb used in traditional Chinese medicine for its proimmune and antidiabetic properties. However, methods are needed to help distinguish Radix Astragali from its varied adulterants. DNA barcoding is a widely applicable molecular method used to identify medicinal plants. Yet, its use has been hampered by genetic distance, base variation, and limitations of the bio-NJ...

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) contains allergenic proteins, which make it harmful to the sensitised population. The presence of peanut in foods must be indicated on label, prevent accidental consumption by allergic In this work, we use chloroplast markers for specific detection real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), order increase assay sensitivity. Binary mixtures raw and processed flour wheat...

Agnimantha plant species have been used in the Ayurvedic system of medicine for many years and is widely as an ingredient ayurvedic formulations. However, source remained controversial it difficult to authenticate from various reports. Hence, present study aims identify its original substitute sources. As per literature sources Clerodendrum phlomidis L.f., C. inerme (L.) Gaertn. Premna serratif...

We have studied several samples from Lotus corniculatus s. l. and L. zhegulensis populations with the use of SSR sequenced nuclear (ITS) plastid (atpB-rbcL, ndhC-trnV, rpl32-trnL(UAG), trnH-psbA, trnL-trnF) markers. analysed 9 local Volga River valley ranging Ulyanovsk in north to Volgograd south, as well two Moscow Lipetsk Provinces. Analyses markers using STRUCRURE program divided sample into...

Fritillaria Tourn. ex L. is a genus of Liliaceae including little more than 150 species occurring in the temperate Holarctic. sonnikovae Shaulo & Erst most recently described Siberian genus. In affinity section F. diagnosis, only dagana Turcz. and roylei Hook. are mentioned. Our study an original attempt to shed light on origin its evolutionary relationships with other using nuclear (ITS) p...

The current tribal classification of Myrtaceae was based on analysis the plastid matK coding region within trnK intron. phylogenetic position genera Cloezia and Xanthomyrtus poorly supported, original sequence for Kania, type genus tribe Kanieae, rather poor. To clarify relationships, we sequenced psbA–trnH an extended portion intron, including spacer regions flanking matK, nuclear ribosomal IT...

Abstract DNA barcoding allows the identification of an organism by comparing sequence selected regions (barcodes) with a previously compiled database, and it can be useful for taxonomic species in complex genera, such as Tamarix . Many this genus show convergent morphology, which leads to frequent errors their identification. Highly variable genetic markers, microsatellites or short repeats (SS...
