Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of agricultural molecular biology, and in particular relates to a set of SNP molecular marker combinations for constructing a fingerprint map of Fructus Aurantii Immaturus and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Citrus aurantium (Fructus Aurantium) is the dried, immature fruit of Citrus aurantium L., a plant of the Rutaceae family (Citrus) and its cultivars. It is a commonly used Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with benefits such as regulating qi, relieving fullness, relieving stagnation and distension, and resolving phlegm. Numerous cultivars have been continuously selected through long-term artificial cultivation. Traditional identification of medicinal herb varieties relies primarily on morphological characteristics, which are susceptible to environmental influences. Consequently, the market often suffers from a mixture of superior and inferior varieties, resulting in a chaotic variety mix and inconsistent quality. This seriously impacts the quality of the medicinal herb and is detrimental to the healthy and sustainable development of the Fructus Aurantium (Fructus Aurantium) industry. Establishing a fingerprint of Fructus Aurantium and classifying Fructus Aurantium from different regions based on this fingerprint is urgently needed in the Fructus Aurantium (Fructus Aurantium) industry to provide a reference for quality control of Fructus Aurantium (Fructus Aurantium) in different major producing areas.

[0003] Currently, mainstream Citrus aurantium products are categorized into four main production areas based on their origin. Citrus aurantium is primarily produced in the Sichuan Basin, commonly known as "Chuan Zhi Ke"; Citrus aurantium is primarily produced in the Dongting Lake Plain, commonly known as "Xiang Zhi Ke"; Citrus aurantium is primarily produced in the Poyang Lake Plain, commonly known as "Jiang Zhi Ke"; and Citrus aurantium dulcis is primarily produced in the Jinqu Basin, commonly known as "Qu Zhi Ke." Existing techniques for distinguishing Citrus aurantium from different origins involve measuring the content of naringin, neohesperidin, and luteolin in Citrus aurantium using liquid chromatography. Cluster analysis and principal component analysis are then used to generate coefficient variables to construct similarity fingerprints, thereby distinguishing Citrus aurantium varieties from different regions. With cross-breeding across different regions, the limitations of liquid chromatography have become increasingly apparent. Therefore, developing an economical, efficient, and accurate method for regional cultivar identification is crucial for improving the management and conservation of Citrus aurantium germplasm resources, as well as the quality of the medicinal material.
