Research Progress of DNA Barcode Technology in the Identification of Aconitum Plants
Aconitum plants have important medicinal value.At present,the variety of Aconitum plant medicinal materials in the market is chaotic,with too many counterfeit and similar products,and there are phenomena such as fish eyes mixing pearls,which seriously affects the efficacy and safety of Aconitum medicinal materials.Therefore,it is urgent to correctly identify Aconitum plants.The traditional identification methods for Aconitum plants,such as primitive identification,have strong subjectivity and high dependence on professionals.With the development of DNA barcode technology,its application in the identification of Aconitum plants is receiving increasing attention.Based on this,this article summarizes the research progress of DNA barcode technology in the identification of Aconitum plants,providing theoretical support for promoting further innovation in identification techniques and methods of Aconitum plants.
