Abstract excerpt
We previously found that Curcuma plants and drugs derived from Curcuma longa, C. phaeocaulis, C. zedoaria, and C. aromatica could be identified by the nucleotide differences at two sites and the existence of a 4-base indel on trnK gene. In this paper, based on species-specific nucleotide sequences, the application of a new method, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis was investigated to identify Curcuma...
