Journal of Ethnobotany | Applications of DNA barcoding and future directions ...Innspub Net
DNA barcoding help to recognize the plant based on short, gene sequences in a rapid, accurate, and cost effective manner. Current focus is on the investigation of phytomedicinals and herbal product integrity and authenticity through DNA barcoding with the goal of protecting consumers from potential health risks associated with product substitution and contamination. Recent reports reveal that DNA barcoding can be used for the assignment of unknown specimens to a taxonomic group, authentic identification of phytomedicinals, and in plant biodiversity conservation. Research indicates that there is no single universal barcode candidate for identification of all plant groups. Hence, comparative analysis of plant barcode loci is essential for choosing a best candidate for authenticating particular medicinal plant genus/families. Currently, both chloroplast/nuclear regions are used as universal barcodes for the authentication of phytomedicinals. A recent advance in genomics has further enhanced the progress in DNA barcoding of plants by the introduction of high-throughput techniques like next generation sequencing, which has paved the way for complete plastome sequencing that is now termed as super-barcodes. Hence, current focus is on the investigation of phytomedicines and herbal product integrity and authenticity through DNA barcoding with the goal of protecting consumers from potential health risks associated with product substitution and contamination. These approaches could improve the traditional ethnobotanical and scientific knowledge of phytomedicines and their safe use.
International Conference on Genetic Engineering & Genetically Modified Organisms, will be organized around the theme "The Power of Gene in turning Ordinary into Extraordinary."
