Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To make an useful identification method for the molecule of DNA on 3 herbs of Artemisia genus and compare the differences of the genes of Korean and Chinese species of Artemisia. METHODS: Sequence of 3 herbs (Artemisia sacrorum Ledeb., Artemisia iwayomogi Kitam. and Artemisia capillaris Thunb.) was determined by PCR sequence system. DNA was extracted from rDNA/ITS (internal transcribed spacers) and 5.8 s. The analysis was based on the amplification through DNA sequence system. RESULTS: There were profound differences between the Korean Artemisia and Artemisia sacrorum L. These 2 herbs had a difference in the PCR amplifications of the agarose gel electrophoresis. There was a slight difference in the analysis of the DNA sequence system, and the substitution percentage for ITS gene fragments sequence was 3.96%. CONCLUSION: Analytic identification method on sequence system of ITS in rDNA is effective for these 3 herbs.
