Abstract
Description
field of invention
[0001] The present invention relates to sex identification of Ginkgo biloba (Gingko biloba) using a molecular marker, and more particularly to a molecular marker capable of distinguishing male and female plants of Ginkgo biloba and a multiplex polymerase chain reaction used in an identification method using the molecular marker (PCR) conditions. Background technique
[0002] Ginkgo trees have a long history and are known as living fossils on the earth, and are widely distributed all over the world. In Korea, ginkgo is mostly used as a street tree, and for harvesting its fruit, ginkgo.
