Molecular Identification of Atractylodes Plants Based on ITS2 Sequence
To identify the genetic relationship of cultivated and wild
Atractylodes
and its closely related species by using the Internal Transcribed Spacer 2(ITS2)barcode
in order to explore the cultivation origin of
A
.
coreana
from Northeast China.
Method:
2
Genomic DNAs were extracted from 40 samples of
Atractylodes
and its closely related species from different cultivated habitats
and 7 samples of wild
A
.
coreana
. were also extracted. The ITS2 sequences of these samples were amplified
and bidirectional sequencing was conducted by polymerase chain reaction(PCR). Totally 47 ITS2 sequences were aligned by using MEGA 5.0
5.8S and 28S sequences were removed to obtain the complete ITS2 sequence and build neighbor-joining (NJ) tree.
Result:
2
The lengths of ITS2 sequences of all samples were 232 bp. The NJ tree and the secondary structures of ITS2 showed that various varieties could be distinguished obviously except
A
.
chinesis
and
A
.
coreana
which showed a good monophyly. The NJ tree showed that cultivated and wild
A
.
coreana
can also get together very well.
Conclusion:
2
As a DNA barcode
ITS2 sequences can be used to stably and accurately distinguish various varieties of
Atractylodes
. The relationship between
A
.
chinesis
and
A
.
coreana
is very close.
A
.
coreana
can be considered as a variant of
A
.
coreana
in North China. It is recommended to incorporate
A
.
coreana
into
A
.
chinesis
. The large-scale cultivation of
A
.
coreana
may originate from local wild population in Liaoning province
and the provenance may come from Xiuyan and other places in Liaoning province.
