To ensure the safety of medications,it is vital to accurately authenticate species of the Apocynaceae family,which is rich in poisonous medicinal plants.We identified Apocynaceae species by using nuclear internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) and psbA-trnH based on experimental data.The identification ability of ITS2 and psbA-trnH was assessed using specific genetic divergence,BLAST1,and neighbor-joining trees.For DNA barcoding,ITS2 and psbA-trnH regions of 122 plant samples of 31 species from 19 genera in the Apocynaceae family were amplified.The PCR amplification for ITS2 and psbA-trnH sequences was 100％.The sequencing success rates for ITS2 and psbA-trnH sequences were 81％ and 61％,respectively.Additional data involved 53 sequences of the ITS2 region and 38 sequences of the psbA-trnH region were downloaded from GenBank.Moreover,the analysis showed that the interspecific divergence of Apocynaceae species was greater than its intra-specific variations.The results indicated that,using the BLAST1 method,ITS2 showed a high identification efficiency of 97％ and 100％ of the samples at the species and genus levels,respectively,via BLAST1,and psbA-trnH successfully identified 95％ and 100％ of the samples at the species and genus levels,respectively.The barcode combination of ITS2/psbA-trnH successfully identified 98％ and 100％ of samples at the species and genus levels,respectively.Subsequently,the neighbor joining tree method also showed that barcode ITS2 and psbA-trnH could distinguish among the species within the Apocynaceae family.ITS2 is a core barcode and psbA-trnH is a supplementary barcode for identifying species in the Apocynaceae family.These results will help to improve DNA barcoding reference databases for herbal drugs and other herbal raw materials.
