Objective: In order to guarantee the seed base of Scutellariae Radix is accurate
an internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) barcode reference library of Scutellariae Radix has been constructed and then a species identification method of Scutellariae Radix seeds based on DNA barcoding technology has been established. Method: ITS2 sequences were obtained from Scutellariae radix reference medicinal materials
original plant
crude medicinal materials
public database
and its substitutes.Totally 62 Scutellariae Radix seed specimens were collected from markets.For each Scutellariae Radix seed specimen
3-4 ITS2 sequences were obtained and then used for species assignment by BLAST method
genetic distance method and neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree method. Result: In total
101 ITS2 sequences of Scutellariae Radix and its substitutes have been obtained.The data analysis result showed that the intraspecific distance of Scutellariae Radix was less than its interspecific distance.The three species of Scutellaria baicalensis
S. rehderiana and S. viscidula were showed separated branch in the neighbor-joining tree.Totally 195 ITS2 sequences have been obtained from Scutellariae Radix seeds
the identification results showed that 193 sequences were Scutellariae Radix and 2 sequences were fungi contaminations. Conclusion: The ITS2 barcode database of Scutellariae Radix is stable and reliable
it can satisfy the demand of DNA barcoding analysis of Scutellariae Radix seeds.
