USE OF ITS DNA BARCODING TO IDENTIFY ORNAMENTAL CAMELLIA
Tong Xin, Shuangzhang
Abstract :
<p> Cha–hua is the world’s famous flower, refers to which with the high ornamental values in Camellia, and has a long </p> <div>cultivation history. Due to Camellia cultivars a wide application and increasing number of new varieties, homonym and </div> <div>heteronym are very common phenomena, made the difficulties on identification, germplasm exchange and naming </div> <div>new species. In this study, we used DNA barcording methods, analyses the ITS sequences identification on Camellia. By the methods of calculating </div> <div>the distances in intraspecific and interspecific divergences? evaluating DNA barcoding gap and constructing NJ and UPMGA phylogenetic </div> <div>trees. The sequence ITS performed best. In conclusion?ITS sequences can be considered as a novel DNA barcode in Camellia genus? other four </div> <div>sequences can be as combination barcode for identification.</div>
