Molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of important medicinal plant species in genus Paeonia based on rDNA-ITS, matK, and rbcL DNA barcode sequences

W. J. Kim, Ji, Y., Choi, G., Kang, Y. M., Yang, S., Moon, B. C., Kim, W. J., Ji, Y., Choi, G., Kang, Y. M., Yang, S., and Moon, B. C., Molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of important medicinal plant species in genus Paeonia based on rDNA-ITS, matK, and rbcL DNA barcode sequences, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

This study was performed to identify and analyze the phylogenetic relationship among four herbaceous species of the genus Paeonia, P. lactiflora, P. japonica, P. veitchii, and P. suffruticosa, using DNA barcodes. These four species, which are commonly used in traditional medicine as Paeoniae Radix and Moutan Radicis Cortex, are pharmaceutically defined in different ways in the national pharmacopoeias in Korea, Japan, and China.

Molecular identification of the traditional herbal medicines, Arisaematis Rhizoma and Pinelliae Tuber, and common adulterants via universal DNA barcode sequences

B. C. Moon, Kim, W. J., Ji, Y., Lee, Y. M., Kang, Y. M., Choi, G., Moon, B. C., Kim, W. J., Ji, Y., Lee, Y. M., Kang, Y. M., and Choi, G., Molecular identification of the traditional herbal medicines, Arisaematis Rhizoma and Pinelliae Tuber, and common adulterants via universal DNA barcode sequences, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Methods to identify Pinelliae Tuber and Arisaematis Rhizoma are required because of frequent reciprocal substitution between these two herbal medicines and the existence of several closely related plant materials. As a result of the morphological similarity of dried tubers, correct discrimination of authentic herbal medicines is difficult by conventional methods. Therefore, we analyzed DNA barcode sequences to identify each herbal medicine and the common adulterants at a species level.

Molecular DNA identification of medicinal plants used by traditional healers in Malaysia

N. A. A. Aziz, Ahmad, M. I., and Naim, D. M., Molecular DNA identification of medicinal plants used by traditional healers in Malaysia, vol. 14, pp. 15937-15947, 2015.

Plants have been used throughout human history for food and medicine. However, many plants are toxic, and cannot easily be morphologically distinguished from non-toxic plants. DNA identification solves this problem and is widely used. Nonetheless, plant DNA barcode identification faces a number of challenges, and many studies have been conducted to find suitable barcodes.

Biotechnological prospecting of foliar endophytic fungi of guaco (Mikania glomerata Spreng.) with antibacterial and antagonistic activity against phytopathogens

J. C. Polonio, Almeida, T. T., Garcia, A., Mariucci, G. E. G., Azevedo, J. L., Rhoden, S. A., and Pamphile, J. A., Biotechnological prospecting of foliar endophytic fungi of guaco (Mikania glomerata Spreng.) with antibacterial and antagonistic activity against phytopathogens, vol. 14, pp. 7297-7309, 2015.

Mikania glomerata (Spreng.), popularly known as “guaco”, is a plant from the Asteraceae family that has many therapeutic properties. The use of medicinal plants has been examined in studies on endophytic diversity and bioprospecting; endophytes inhabit the interior of plants without harming them. Microorganism-host complex interactions are related to the production of compounds that may confer resistance to pathogens or to production of bioactive compounds or growth regulators. In this study, we evaluated foliar endophytic fungi of M.
