Establishment of a standard DSS library for identification of original plants of medicinal materials in Chinese Pharmacopoeia
With the development of molecular pharmacognosy,the advantages of DNA molecular markers in the identification of original plants of Chinese medicinal materials are becoming increasingly significant.To compensate for the limitations of existing markers in the quality supervision of Chinese medicinal materials,our team has independently designed a new molecular marker named DNA signature sequence (DSS).This marker is a nucleotide sequence that only appears in a specific taxonomic unit,with a length of 40 bp and high identification accuracy.This article aims to screen and verify the DSS markers that can accurately identify the original plants of the medicinal materials included in the volume one of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia,establish the operating procedure for developing standard nucleotide sequences,and lay a foundation for the widespread application of polymerase chain reaction in the quality supervision of traditional Chinese medicine.Firstly,the Chloroplast Genome Information Resource (CGIR) was searched for the chloroplast genome sequences of the test samples,species of the same genus,and common background species.IdenDSS was used to obtain the DSS tags and specific identification primers of the tested species.After DNA extraction,PCR amplification,sequencing,and sequence alignments,a total of 203 DSS markers of Chinese medicinal materials were obtained for validation.The above sequences were uploaded to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Molecular Identification Platform (www.herbsdna.com),and a standard DSS library was established for identifying the original plants of medicinal materials,serving as an important tool for quality supervision of Chinese materia medica.On this basis,an operating procedure for DSS development is formed,laying a foundation for further DSS screening and application based on more diverse genome sequences.
