栀子叶绿体DNA条形码的研究

摘要

目的：评价3个叶绿体DNA(cpDNA)条形码候选序列对茜草科植物栀子属的鉴别能力,探索栀子属植物鉴定的新方法。方法使用matK、rbcL和psbA候选序列的通用引物对栀子属植物cpDNA进行PCR扩增和测序,比较各序列的扩增成功率、长度、种内和种间变异、barcoding gap,并采用BLAST和DNA MAN进行分析评价。结果 matK、rbcL、psbA序列对栀子属3个物种、5个样本的扩增成功率均为100%,其中通用引物matK扩增的序列种内种间变异差异、barcoding gap较psbA、rbcL序列具有更明显的优势,其鉴定成功率相对较高。结论 matK是适合栀子属植物鉴别的较好cpDNA条形码。%Objective To test and eva1uate the abi1ity of three potential chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) barcoding sequences;To find new methods to identify the species of gardenia. Methods Three cpDNA sequences were amplified and sequenced by universal primers of matK, rbcL and psbA. By comparing PCR amplification efficiency, length, intra-and inter-specific divergence, and barcoding gap, BLAST and DNA MAN were used to evaluate these loci. Results The amplification efficiency of 5 samples from 3 gardenia species was 100%. Analysis of the intra-and inter-specific divergence of matK among the sequences showed that barcoding gap was superior to psbA and rbcL, with higher identification efficiency. Conclusion Gardenia jasminoides Ellis can be better identified by matK sequence.
