Premise Of The Study: Rehmannia glutinosa (Scrophulariaceae) is used in traditional Chinese medicine. Microsatellite primers were developed and characterized for this species to evaluate its genetic diversity and population genetic structure.

Methods And Results: Sixteen microsatellite loci were isolated from R. glutinosa using an enriched genomic library, and these markers were characterized in two wild populations of this species. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to 20. A high genetic diversity was observed in two populations, with average observed heterozygosity of 0.812 and 0.794, and average expected heterozygosity of 0.802 and 0.814, respectively.

Conclusions: Rehmannia glutinosa is an important medicinal resource. The genetic markers described in our study will be useful for future population genetic studies and molecular breeding programs on this species.

The pharmacological effects of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are closely associated with the processing procedures, which involve a multitude of intricate chemical reactions. Real-time monitoring of the dynamic changes in chemical constituents during TCM processing plays a pivotal role in ensuring quality control of TCM products. Herein, a neutral desorption atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (ND-APCI-MS) method was developed for online monitoring of the TCM processing.
