The specific DNA barcodes based on chloroplast genes for species identification of Theaceae plants.

ABSTRACT: More than 600 species in over 40 genera have been identified in family Theaceae worldwide. The accurate identification of Theaceae plants can ensure the market economic order, and it plays a vital role in achieving the sustainable utilization of germplasm resources. DNA barcoding, one of the most potential species identification technologies at present, has advanced in the rapid, accurate and repetitive discrimination of species. In this study, matK + ndhF + ycf1 was observed as the optimal combined candidate gene sequence of DNA barcodes by analyzing genetic information of four single chloroplast DNA sequences, including matK, rbcL, ndhF and ycf1, as well as six combined gene sequences. Subsequently, the experiments were perfo
