Abstract:
OBJECTIVEElucidate the medicinal licorice species circumscription in order to develop licorice resources in China and select new cultivars.
METHODPCR amplification, DNA sequencing and cladistic analysis.
RESULTAcquire the ITS sequences and phylogenetic tree of 8 licorice species.
CONCLUSIONAccording to results Glycyrrhiza eurycarpa and G. glabra var. glandulosa should be combined into G. and G. glabra respectively and G. egladulosa is an independent species.
