DNA fingerprinting of crude and processed Atractylodes lancea / 中成药

AIM: To study the DNA fingerprinting of crude and processed Atractylodes lancea. METHODS: DNA fingerprinting of samples of crude and processed Atractylodes lancea were examined by RAPD. RESULTS: All crude Atractylodes lancea showed similar fingerprinting characteristics,while the processed Atractylodes lancea products indicated considerable different results. CONCLUSION: DNA fingerprinting is a reliable method for di-(fferentiating) crude Atractylodes lancea.
