Development of intron polymorphism markers in major latex-like protein gene for locality-level and cultivar identification of Salvia miltiorrhiza.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen) is one of the most widely used medicinal herbs in traditional Chinese medicine. Locality-level and cultivar identification is of great importance not only for protecting highest therapeutic effectiveness of Daodi Danshen, but also for the genetic conservation and utilization of existing S. miltiorrhiza populations.

Results

Intron polymorphisms including SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) and indels were exploited in major latex-like protein (MLP) gene. Based on these markers, genetic relationships among S. miltiorrhiza cultivar and populations in different locations were evaluated by constructing a dendrogram. Moreover, S. miltiorrhiza specimens from Laiwu region were geographically
