Selection of Chloroplast Dna Markers for the Development of Dna Barcode and Reconstruction of Phylogeny of Senecio Asirensis Boulos and J.r.i. Wood

چکیده
Senecio asirensis Boulos & J.R.I. Wood (family: Asteraceae) is an endemic plant of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia found at a few places. The medicinal value of this plant is due to the presence of a variety of complex secondary metabolites. For the development of DNA barcode for this species the chloroplast spacer sequences rps16 and psbA-trnH were found more variable and effective. Among the various loci of molecular DNA markers, nrDNA-ITS was used for the evaluation of phylogenetic relationship with other Senecio species retrieved from the GenBank database. Senecio asirensis had a separate clade from all other Senecio species suggesting its endemism to Saudi Arabia. However, using BLAST search of ITS sequence of this species on NCBI a maximum (98%) similarity to the other Senecio species was found. We analysed the data using the methods viz., maximum parsimony (MP), Neighbor-joining (NJ) and maximum likelihood for the accuracy of the results and found congruence in phylogeny for this species. Thus, based on nr-ITS marker, S. asirensis clearly showed its phylogenetic relationship to the other Senecio species.

Genuine medicinal plant materials are very important for potential crude drug production, which can be used to cure many human diseases. DNA barcoding of medicinal plants is an effective way to identify adulterated or contaminated market materials, but it can be quite challenging to generate barcodes and analyze the data to determine discrimination power. The molecular phylogeny of a plant spec...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Assessment of Some Species of Crocus Genus Using DNA Barcoding
DNA barcoding is a simple method for the identification of any species using a short genetic sequence from a standard genome section. The present study aimed at examining the nuclear and chloroplast diversity as well as the phylogenetic relationships of eight species of saffron including four spring-flowering and five autumn-flowering species from different parts of Iran, using the nuclear barc...
متن کاملThe Phylogeny of Calligonum and Pteropyrum (Polygonaceae) Based on Nuclear Ribosomal DNA ITS and Chloroplast trnL-F Sequences
This study represents phylogenetic analyses of two woody polygonaceous genera Calligonum and Pteropyrum using both chloroplast fragment (trnL-F) and the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (nrDNA ITS) sequence data. All inferred phylogenies using parsimony and Bayesian methods showed that Calligonum and Pteropyrum are both monophyletic and closely related taxa. They have no affinity w...

Phenetic analysis of morphological characters in different species of Onobrychis Miller sect. Hymenobrychis DC. (Fabaceae), classified them in two main groups based on corolla features. To determine the phylogenetic relationships among the 13 species, chloroplast DNA sequences were used. Analysis of these data resulted in a well-resolved and well-supported phylogeny. Phylogenies generated by ma...
