Abstract:
Mitochondrion is one of the vital organelles in plants. Combined with chloroplast and nuclear genomes, mitochondrial DNA could be used to deduce the evolution of species more correctly. In this paper, we elaborated the characters of mitochondrial genome and reviewed the processes of identification of Chinese materia medica based on mitochondrial DNA sequences.
