application of dna barcoding to identify medicinal plants

Medicinal plants have a wide range of pharmacological effects and are important substances for the treatment and prevention of diseases. The market demand for medicinal plants in herbal medicines and pharmaceutical products is huge and still growing. With the increasing market for medicinal plants, the problem of adulteration has hindered the development of medicinal plants. Currently, medicinal plant adulteration suffers from these reasons: 1) the similar morphology of medicinal plants makes it difficult to identify and use them correctly1,2,3,4,5, 2) the increasing demand for medicinal plants has led to insufficient supply in the market6,7, 3) medicinal plants are expensive and have fluctuating prices, and the use of cheap herbs instead of economically valuable materials has led to adulteration and market profiteering8,9. To solve the problems of proper identification and use of medicinal plants, there is a need for a technology that allows non-specialists to identify the source10.
There are limitations to properly identifying and using medicinal plants by appearance and odor alone11. For more accurate identification and quality control, physicochemical methods are employed12. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC), for instance, is a rapid method for identifying medicinal herbs and is included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Nevertheless, it requires reference standards to identify the plants13. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) can perform both qualitative and quantitative tests, making it suitable for medicine quality testing. However, this instrument is expensive and requires specialized knowledge to operate14,15. DNA barcoding technology is a rapid and accurate species identification technology that identifies species by using stable DNA sequences to differentiate between plants with similar morphology. Hebert et al. proposed DNA barcoding technology to identify species, which uses a recognized and relatively short DNA sequence within the genome16, Chen et al. proposed ITS2 as a universal sequence for the molecular identification of medicinal plants and identified more than 6600 plants and found a high identification ability17. The study of medicinal plants based on ITS2 and chloroplast gene fragments has demonstrated the ability to distinguish species at the species level, with applications in the fields of resource protection, market regulation, and international trade17,18,19. The application of DNA barcoding can overcome the limitations of traditional identification methods, which is helpful in ensuring the quality and safety of medicinal plants, preventing resource abuse and confusion20. It has proven beneficial for studying medicinal plants, supporting the growth of the herbal industry in a sustainable manner, and providing a guarantee that the consumer uses the correct medication21,22,23,24.
The paper outlines protocols for how to apply DNA barcoding to identify medicinal plants using A. sinensis as an example. DNA barcoding utilizes one or more standardized short genetic markers in an organism&#39;s DNA to recognize it as belonging to a particular species. Current methods for identifying medicinal plants have certain limitations. Traditional morphological identification relies heavily on experts&#39; extensive experience, which can be influenced by human factors, while chemical identification is prone to issues like adulteration of key compounds. In contrast, DNA barcoding provides a more accurate means of species identification, offering advantages such as speed, high reproducibility, and stability. Furthermore, this technology enables centralized management and sharing of existing species sequence data through the internet and information platforms, significantly improving the efficiency and reliability of species identification11,12. Due to their similar morphology and medicinal parts, A. sinensis is often confused with other species and is frequently misused or intentionally substituted on the market25. Yang et al. identified A. anomala using DNA barcoding to distinguish it from false drugs26. Yuan et al. collected 23 species of Angelica and used DNA barcoding to differentiate between the various species27. By following the procedures described in this protocol, users will be able to authenticate plant-based medicinal materials from pre-processing to ultimately matching the barcoding sequence with the barcode database (Figure 1).

Anwendung von DNA-Barcoding zur Identifizierung von Heilpflanzen

My research seeks to harness the power of DNA barcoding technology to enhance the accuracy and the efficiency of medical plant identification, thereby contributing to the preservation and the sustainable use of their valuable nature resource. DNA barcode technology has found broader applications such as quality control by monitoring or protect species and biodiversity assessment. High-throughput screening and high-throughput amplification are combined with DNA barcodes for species identification, which has expanded the application of herb identification based on DNA barcoding and brought out the past DNA barcoding error.Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive guidelines on how to identify medical plants and our process can provide detailed references. The primary research question for our laboratory in the future will focus on integrating DNA barcoding technology with technologies in our fields for broadening application and technology innovation.

Medicinal plants are valuable resources globally and are used worldwide to maintain health and treat disease; however, the presence of adulteration ...
