Identification of Schisandra sphenanthera and S. chinensis by random amplified polymorphic DNA sequence characterized applied region / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish a new method for the identification of Schisandra sphenanthera and S. chinensis.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Random amplified polymorphic DNA-Sequence characterized applied region (RAPD-SCAR) method was applied to screen primers.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Screening from 100 primers, only 2 random primers, which can be used to identify S. sphenanthera and S. chinensis accurately with a good reproducibility. It worked to fit them into sequence characterized applied region.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>RAPD-SCAR can be used to identify S. sphenanthera and S. chinensis accurately.</p>
