Abstract EN
The dried plant material of medicinally important Anthemis deserti Boiss.
(family: Asteraceae) especially when it remains in the powdered form often look similar to Anthemis melampodina Del.; and therefore, difficult to distinguish, finally lead to chances of adulteration.
The adulteration in medicinal plants effects on the efficacy of the drugs.
The molecular authentication of herbal plant materials such as based on the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) is considered as more reliable method compared to other the biochemical or histological methods.
The present study aims to molecular authentication ofA.
deserti based on molecular phylogenetic analyses of ITS2 gene sequence of nrDNA region.
The ITS2 region of nrDNA of A.
deserti were sequenced, and the molecular phylogenetic analyses were performed together with the GenBank sequences.
The Maximum Parsimony tree revealed the close relationships of A.
deserti with A.
melampodina; however, the Neighbor-Joining and Maximum Likelihood tree clearly revealed that A.
deserti is distinct from A.
melampodina, which is also supported by the differences in nucleotides at five diffident positions (i.e.
22, 28, 87, 175 and 198) in the DNA sequence alignment.
