Comparison and Identification of Secondary Structure of ITS2 Sequence in Bletillae Rhizoma and Its Counterfeits
Objective: To fast and accurately identify ITS2 sequences of Bletillae Rhizoma and its counterfeits using DNA barcode technology. Method: The genomic DNA was extracted by plant genomic DNA extraction kit
and the ITS2 sequences of all collected samples were amplified and measured. The sequences were spliced by Codon Code Aligner and analyzed by MEGA7.0 software to calculate interspecies Kimura2-parameter (K2P) genetic distance. The neighbor-joining (NJ) system clustering tree was constructed by using the nearest distance method and ITS2 sequences
and the method was compared with the ITS2 sequences. Result: K2P genetic distance and NJ clustering tree only identified Bletillae Rhizoma from other species
but failed to distinguish Bletillae Rhizoma and the other three in the genus. The secondary structure of ITS2 could be used to further accurately identify Bletillae Rhizoma and other species. Conclusion: ITS2 sequences can be used as DNA bar code
and combined with the secondary structure of ITS2 sequence to effectively identify Bletillae Rhizoma and its counterfeits.
