Development of real-time PCR-based markers for differentiation of and in commercial food products.

Unlabelled: and , commonly referred to as "Dureub" in Korea, are generally used as medicinal or food raw materials. Although , a rare and endangered plant, is typically sold at high prices, the more abundant is comparatively inexpensive. Given their common names and morphological root similarities, both plants can easily be confused, thereby providing potential opportunities for fraudulent use in food products.

Establishing DNA markers to differentiate and , which are confusedly used as medicinal herbs, using real-time PCR.

Unlabelled: and are used as medicinal herbs and aromatic plants and belong to the family . Despite differences in composition and physicochemical properties, both plants are frequently sold as the medical substance "Kwakhyang" in some Asian countries. Molecular markers were established to distinguish between the two plants using quantitative real-time PCR.

Development of real-time PCR based molecular markers for two medicinal herb species and .

Unlabelled: and are well-known herbal medicines which are used as hepatotherapeutic drugs. These two herbal species can be confused with each other, owing to their morphological similarity and similar Korean common names of "Injinho" and "Haninjin," respectively. Molecular markers to distinguish between the two plants were developed.

Complete organellar genomes of six Sargassum species and development of species-specific markers.

Sargassum is one of the most important brown algal genera that can be used as food and raw material for medicinal purpose, and has various beneficial effects. As the classification of Sargassum species is currently based on their morphological characteristics, organellar genome sequences of Sargassum would provide important information for accurate identification of species and developing species-specific markers. We sequenced the complete organellar genomes of six Sargassum species, including the first complete chloroplast genome sequences of S.
