Application of DNA Fingerprinting for Plant Identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNA fingerprints led to the identification of closely related plant species and it is one of the tool for assessing genetic diversity and species relationship. DNA is most stable and does not vary seasonally and with age of the plant. DNA based fingerprinting techniques plays greater role in authentication of botanicals. This review gives an outline about the importance of DNA fingerprinting, DNA fingerprinting methods, procedure for DNA fingerprinting and DNA based markers. In addition, this review will provide the comprehensive data on the DNA based markers for the identification and authentication of medicinal herbs such as Ocimum species, Ipomea mauritiana, Embelia species, Solanum species, Zingiber species, Citrus species and Cryptocoryne pallidinervia, for species differentiation of Cinnamomum species and Mentha species, for adulteration detection of Angelica species, Zanthoxylum species and for identification of phytoconstituents of Curcuma species, Mentha species and Aloe species. This review emphasize on the importance of DNA fingerprinting for the medicinal plants.
