Objective: To study genetic diversity and genetic relationship among 9 cultivated and 4 nature populations of Codonopsis pilosula and C. pilosula var. modesta form Gansu Province at DNA level.

Methods: DNA of 217 individuals was amplified by 14 decamer primers from 200 radom primers. The polymorphic bands of RAPD were counted. And the results were analyzed by clustering analysis NTSYS-PC software.

Results: A total of 125 loci were detected by 14 arbitrary primers, among which 109 and 106 loci were polymorphic in C. pilosula and C. pilosula var. modesta respectively, and the percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) were 87.20% and 84. 80%. The cluster analysis showed that 13 populations were divided into 2 groups. The one included 8 cultivated populations of C. pilosula, the other group consisted of a cultivated population and 4 nature populations of C. pilosula var. modesta.

Conclusion: The RAPD results indicated that there was abundant genetic diversity in cultivated populations of C. pilosula and C. pilosula var. modesta. The genetic differentiation among 8 cultivated populations of C. pilosula was very small and related to their geographical distance. Only the cultivation in Wen County originated from C. pilosula var. modesta, while the other populations cultivated in Gansu Province belongs to C. pilosula.

Article Synopsis
  • - Campanumoea javanica (CJ) is a popular health food in China, often used as an alternative to Codonopsis Radix (CR) due to their similar medicinal effects and shared plant family, though research on their differences is limited.
  • - The study utilized metabolomics, network pharmacology, and molecular docking to analyze over a thousand compounds in CJ and CR, revealing a high similarity between their metabolite profiles, while also identifying unique compounds in CJ.
  • - Key metabolites in CJ were found to have potential therapeutic effects on cancer and lactation, and demonstrated strong binding affinities with important biological targets, laying the groundwork for future drug development and a better understanding of CJ's medicinal value.

Background: Codonopsis pilosula var. modesta (CPVM) is a famous medicinal and edible plant of Campanulaceae. However, fresh CPVM roots (FCPVR) are prone to softening, browning and spoilage after concentrated harvesting in the main production area of Gansu Province, China in autumn, which poses great challenges to their large-scale storage and modern processing.
