Development of selection method for Glycyrrhiza uralensis superior clones with high-glycyrrhizic acid contents using DNA sequence polymorphisms in glycyrrhizic acid biosynthetic genes.

ABSTRACT: Glycyrrhiza plants are important resources for sweeteners and medicines, because underground parts of them contain glycyrrhizic acid (GL), which has sweet taste and various pharmacological activities (ex. anti-inflammatory, antiallergy, antiviral activity, etc.). Although such importance of them, their supply still depends principally on the collection of wild plants. Therefore, it is an important issue to develop stable and efficient production system of Glycyrrhiza plants. To overcome this problem, we established the hydroponic cultivation system of Glycyrrhiza uralensis and selected superior G. uralensis clones with high-GL contents in the containment greenhouse. In this study, we aimed to develop a method of selecting these superior G. uralensis clone
