An Early Reference to DNA Barcode for the Anacardiaceae Family

Anacardiaceae is well-known for its edible fruits and economically important species in Indonesia. Approximately 3% of Indonesia's endangered vulnerable belong to this family. Fast accurate identification crucial support the conservation efforts family, such as employing DNA sequences. Species using sequences, known barcoding, has been widely used many applied fields. So far, application barcoding plant limited several genera only, Mangifera Spondias. This research aimed enrich barcode references evaluate most suitable effective genetic marker barcodes identify 35 samples representing sixteen family chloroplast markers matK rbcL regions. When comparing morphological with molecular assignments, accuracy was 62.50% (matK), 60.61% (rbcL), 73.33% (matK+rbcL) at genus level. All failed show a gap, even though t-test showed that intraspecific interspecific distances were significantly different rbcL+matK. Among others, Gluta walichii (Hook.f.) Ding Hou Melanochyla caesia Jack only successfully resolved by all markers. Nevertheless, new six made available study, enriching tropical flora diversity.
