“…The analysis of sequence variation in the regions such as ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and a large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcl) has become an effective method for identification of medicinal herbs. The PCR-RFLP of rDNA or rbc1 has been successfully carried out on Glehnia (Mizukami et al, 1993), Epimedium (Nakai et al, 1996), Atractylodes (Mizukami et al, 1996;, Panax (Ngan et al, 1999), Codonopsis (Fu et al, 1999), Dendrobium (Zhang et al, 2005), Fritillaria (Wang et al, 2005;, Sinopodophyllum and Dysosma (Gong et al, 2006), Ganoderma (Zhou et al, 2008), Akebia (Kitaoka et al, 2009) and Lonicera (Peng et al, 2010).…”
