Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, relates to detection and application methods including nucleic acid, in particular to a method for identifying medicinal plants by using nucleotide sequences. Background technique
[0002] Medicinal plants are the original plants of Chinese medicinal materials, and they are some plant species with health care and medicinal value. According to statistics, my country has 11,146 kinds of medicinal plants (accounting for 87% of all traditional Chinese medicine resources), belonging to 383 families and 2,309 genera. Rapid and accurate identification of these more than 10,000 medicinal plants is an urgent and arduous task for Chinese medicine workers in my country. The existing identification methods of medicinal plants are mainly based on morphological characteristics. By collecting the morphological characteristics of various organs (such as flowers, fruits, seeds, roots, stems, leaves) or tissues of th...
