Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of identification of origin species of traditional Chinese medicine, and more particularly to a DNA barcode for identifying chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum original species and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] The Chinese Pharmacopoeia contains the dried inflorescence of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat., a plant of the Asteraceae family, and the dried inflorescence of Chrysanthemumindicum L., a closely related plant of the same genus. Both can clear away heat and detoxify, treat carbuncle, furuncle, erysipelas, and swelling and pain, and can clear the liver and improve eyesight. Chrysanthemum is pungent and cool to relieve the exterior symptoms, and its pungent and dispersing power is stronger, but its detoxifying power is not as good as that of wild chrysanthemum. Therefore, it is mainly used to disperse wind-heat, soothe the liver and improve eyesight, and is good at treating fever and headache caused by wind-heat cold or early stage of febrile disease, blurred vision caused by liver and kidney deficiency, headache and dizziness caused by hyperactivity of liver yang, and convulsions caused by liver heat. Wild chrysanthemum is more bitter and cold, and has a strong power of clearing heat and detoxifying, and is good at detoxifying and eliminating carbuncle. Therefore, it is often used clinically for sores, carbuncle, swelling and pain, and also relieves sore throat, and is good at treating sore throat, eczema, and skin itching. Therefore, species identification of the original plants of chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum is of great significance for precise clinical drug use.
[0003] DNA barcoding technology plays an important role in the identification of traditional Chinese medicines, and the guidelines for the molecular identification of traditional Chinese medicines using DNA barcoding have been included in the 2020 version of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. However, due to the extremely close relationship between chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum, currently used barcoding identification technologies such as ITS2, psbA-trnH, matK, rbcL, and rpoC2 cannot directly identify the two effectively.
[0004] Therefore, the development of efficient universal molecular identification primers for chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum is extremely important.
[0005] Therefore, whether it is possible to provide a DNA barcode for identifying the original species of chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum and its application is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a DNA barcode for identifying the original species of chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum and its application. Compared with traditional DNA barcodes, the chloroplast genome has more abundant variable sites and stronger species resolution. Therefore, based on the highly variable regions of the chloroplast genome of chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum, a species-specific DNA barcode for effectively identifying chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum is developed, which can be used for the original identification of chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum original plants, medicinal materials, decoction pieces and related Chinese patent medicines.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a DNA barcode for identifying the original species of chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum and its application
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Obtaining species-specific DNA barcodes of chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum
[0033] The chloroplast genome sequences of chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum were downloaded from the NCBI database, and the chloroplast genomes of chrysanthemum C. morifolium Ramat. and wild chrysanthemum C. indicum L. were globally aligned using mVISTA analysis ( Figure 1 , reference accession numbers include: MH165289.1, MT919686.1, MT919684.1, MH165290.1, MT919687.1, MT919683.1). Among them, the ycf1-Ch sequence in the ycf1 gene has a large variation between the two species ( Figure 2 ). Therefore, this hypervariable region may be a potential molecular marker for species identification of chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum.
[0034] PhyloSuite was further used to calculate the nucleotide variation values (Pi) of all genes and intergenic regions in the chloroplast genomes of chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum, and to perform gene and intergenic region comparisons ( Figure 3 The average Pi value of the intergenic region is greater than that of the genic region, which is consistent with the results of mVISTA analysis. In the genic region, the Pi value of the ycf1 gene sequence is the largest (in the ycf1-Ch region, 5 SNP sites are densely clustered within a range of 119 bp ( Figure 2 ), meeting the basic requirements as a DNA barcode). Combining the Pi value with the mVISTA result analysis, the present invention screened ycf1-Ch as a specific DNA barcode for identifying the original species of chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] Verification of species-specific DNA barcodes in Chrysanthemum and Chrysanthemum indica
[0037] 2.1 Experimental Materials
[0038] In this example, 5 samples of chrysanthemum and 5 samples of wild chrysanthemum were used to determine the basic nucleotide sequence types of chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum, respectively.
[0039] 2.2 Genome extraction
[0040] Take about 100 mg of the sample and grind it into fine powder using a grinder. The remaining steps are carried out according to the standard operating procedures of the plant genomic DNA extraction kit.
[0041] 2.3 PCR amplification
[0042] The ycf1-Ch F / ycf1-Ch R primers were designed using the screened hypervariable region ycf1-Ch sequence as a template, as shown in Table 1. They were synthesized by Beijing Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The primers were dissolved in sterile ultrapure water and diluted to 2.5 μM.
[0043] Table 1
[0044]
[0045] 25 μL reaction PCR amplification system: 2×Taq MasterMix 12.5 μL, upstream and downstream primers (2.5 μM) 1 μL each, DNA template about 50 ng, add sterile double distilled water to make up the volume to 25 μL.
[0046] PCR reaction condition parameters: 94°C, 5 min; (94°C, 30 s, 55°C, 30 s, 72°C, 45 s), 40 cycles; 72°C, 10 min.
[0047] 2.4 PCR product sequencing
[0048] After the PCR product showed a positive band after 1% ordinary agarose gel electrophoresis, it was subjected to Sanger bidirectional sequencing using an ABI3730XL sequencer, and the sequencing primers were the same as the PCR amplification primers.
[0049] In this example, the software Geneious was used for sequence splicing, and the software MEGA11.0 was used for sequence alignment analysis. First, Geneious was used to remove the primer regions at both ends of the sequence, and the low-quality parts at both ends of the sequencing results were removed, and the quality of the remaining parts was evaluated. After sequence splicing, the nucleotide types of the 5 chrysanthemum samples were all consistent with the theoretical analysis, which were Cm-Type types; 3 of the 5 wild chrysanthemum samples were consistent with the theoretical analysis, which were Ci-Type I types, and the other 2 wild chrysanthemum sample sequences were Ci-Type II types ( Figure 4 ).
[0050] The nucleotide sequence Cm-Type of the chrysanthemum sample is: CAAATACTTTTAAAAGGAAAGA AAATTCCATTATTTATACCGAGAGAAATATATGAATCAAGTGAAACTC AAACAGAAAAGGATTTG, as shown in SEQ ID No. 3;
[0051] The wild chrysanthemum sample has two sequence types, Ci-Type I is: GAAATACTTTTAAAAG GAAAGAAAATTCCATTATTTATACCGAGAGAAATATATGAATCAAGTG AAACTCAAACAGAAAAGGATTCT, as shown in SEQ ID No.4;
[0052] Ci-Type II is: M (custom M=C and G hybrid type, the overlapping peak of the sequencing peak graph) AAATA CTTTTAAAAGGAAAGAAAATTCCATTATTTATACCGAGAGAAATATAT GAATCAAGTGAAACTCAAACAGAAAAGGATTCN (custom N=T and G hybrid type, the overlapping peak of the sequencing peak graph), as shown in SEQ ID No.5.
[0053] Example 3
[0054] Application of species-specific DNA barcoding in chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum
[0055] The species-specific DNA barcode sequences of chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum obtained above were further applied to the molecular identification of 20 chrysanthemum and 20 wild chrysanthemum samples.
[0056] The sequencing results were compared and analyzed using MEGA11.0 software, and the results showed that all 20 chrysanthemum samples were of Cm-Type type; 11 of the 20 wild chrysanthemum samples were of Ci-Type I type and 9 were of Ci-Type II type. The present invention obtains nucleotide sequence type information that can be used to identify chrysanthemum and wild chrysanthemum.
