AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

A recombinant DNA library was constructed from partial BamHI or MboI digests of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) chloroplast DNA, in the BamHI site of lambda EMBL3. Seventeen lambda recombinants, selected by chromosome walking, were found to contain overlapping fragments of the entire chloroplast genome. These clones were mapped using single and double digests of BamHI, EcoRI and HindIII. cDNAs synthesized from isolated 16S and 23S chloroplast rRNAs were used to map the ribosomal RNA genes relative to physical maps of the above restriction enzymes. The mapped positions of the rRNA genes for the safflower chloroplast DNA are in good agreement with previously published data for tobacco, spinach and several other higher plants.

The chloroplast genome is an important tool for studying plant classification, evolution, and the heterologous production of secondary metabolites and protein drugs. With advancements in sequencing technology and reductions in sequencing costs, chloroplast genome data have rapidly accumulated. However, existing chloroplast genome databases suffer from issues such as incomplete data, inadequate management, and inconsistent, inaccurate information, posing significant challenges for the development and utilization of the chloroplast genome.

With the development of molecular pharmacognosy, the advantages of DNA molecular markers in the identification of original plants of Chinese medicinal materials are becoming increasingly significant. To compensate for the limitations of existing markers in the quality supervision of Chinese medicinal materials, our team has independently designed a new molecular marker named DNA signature sequence(DSS). This marker is a nucleotide sequence that only appears in a specific taxonomic unit, with a length of 40 bp and high identification accuracy.
