USE OF ITS DNA BARCODING TO IDENTIFY ORNAMENTAL CAMELLIA

Tong Xin, Shuangzhang

Abstract :

 Cha–hua is the world’s famous flower, refers to which with the high ornamental values in Camellia, and has a long 

cultivation history. Due to Camellia cultivars a wide application and increasing number of new varieties, homonym and 
heteronym are very common phenomena, made the difficulties on identification, germplasm exchange and naming 
new species. In this study, we used DNA barcording methods, analyses the ITS sequences identification on Camellia. By the methods of calculating 
the distances in intraspecific and interspecific divergences? evaluating DNA barcoding gap and constructing NJ and UPMGA phylogenetic 
trees. The sequence ITS performed best. In conclusion?ITS sequences can be considered as a novel DNA barcode in Camellia genus? other four 
sequences can be as combination barcode for identification.
