Abstract:

DNA barcoding method was carried out to identify a species, which was discovered during field medicinal resource investigation in Shandong and difficult to identify using morphological characters. First, the total DNA was extracted from the samples. Then, the sequences of internal transcribed spacer region 2 and psbA-trnH were amplified and sequenced using polymerase chain reaction. Next, the obtained sequences were proofread and spliced using Chromasv, and the software MEGA 6.0 was used to analyze the data. Consequently, the studied species was identified as Isodon rubescen (Hemsl.) Hara using the DNA barcoding method. This study provides important evidence regarding the identification of a newly discovered species, Isodon rubescens, in Shandong and its medicinal resource development.

Key words: newly discovered species in Shandong, Isodon rubescens (Hemsl.) Hara, DNA barcoding, molecular identification
