Anacardiaceae is well-known for its edible fruits and economically important species in Indonesia. Approximately 3% of Indonesia's endangered vulnerable belong to this family. Fast accurate identification crucial support the conservation efforts family, such as employing DNA sequences. Species using sequences, known barcoding, has been widely used many applied fields. So far, application barcod...

SNPs from nrDNA and trnC-trnD cp DNA for the Caribbean junipers have provided additional insight into the evolution of this group of smooth leaf margined junipers. Comparing leaf terpenoids, RAPDS and SNPs from nrDNA and trnC-trnD cp DNA show that each data set reveals different facets of the relationships. In general, the data sets support four major groups: Juniperus barbadensis lucayana; J. ...

Recently, social media marketing has become an effective tool for restaurants to gain visibility, increase customer engagement, and boost sales. Through activities (SMMAs) including customization (CUST), entertainment (ENTR), trendiness (TRND), interaction (INTR), can connect with their customers in a dynamic way that may affect satisfaction purchasing behavioral intention. Hence, this study pr...

Morphological and molecular evidence strongly supported the monophyly of tribe Anemoneae DC.; however, phylogenetic relationships among genera of this tribe have still not been fully resolved. In this study, we sampled 120 specimens representing 82 taxa of tribe Anemoneae. One nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (nrITS) and six plastid markers (atpB-rbcL, matK, psbA-trnQ, rpoB-trnC, r...

Indirubin, one of the key components of medicinal plants including Isatis tinctoria, Polygonum tinctorium, and Strobilanthes cusia, possesses great medicinal efficacy in the treatment of chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML). Due to misidentification and similar name, materials containing indirubin and their close relatives frequently fall prey to adulteration. In this study, we selected an interna...

Mangroves are salt-tolerant forest ecosystems of tropical and subtropical intertidal regions. They are among most productive, diverse, biologically important ecosystem and inclined toward threatened system. Identification of mangrove species is of critical importance in conserving and utilizing biodiversity, which apparently hindered by a lack of taxonomic expertise. In recent years, DNA barcod...

Non-Camellia tea is a part of the colorful Chinese tea culture, and is also widely used as beverage and medicine in folk for disease prevention and treatment. In this study, 37 samples were collected, including 33 kinds of non-Camellia teas and 4 kinds of teas (Camellia). Traditional functions of non-Camellia teas were investigated. Furthermore, non-Camellia teas of original plants were charact...

In order to facilitate optimal plant DNA quantitation and identification, an assay has been developed that uses generic plant PCR primers that amplify a region in the chloroplast genome of plant samples. The assay uses the SYBR green detection dye to detect the PCR product with a universal PCR primer set to the large subunit of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase, rbcL, but can be used with any o...

The Tianshan Mountains play a significant role in the Central Asian flora and vegetation. Lagochilus has a distribution concentration in Tianshan Mountains and Central Asia. To investigate generic spatiotemporal evolution, we sampled most Lagochilus species and sequenced six cpDNA locations (rps16, psbA-trnH, matK, trnL-trnF, psbB-psbH, psbK-psbI). We employed BEAST Bayesian inference for datin...
