Identification of medicinal plant Solanum procumbens Lour. using DNA barcodes and morphology
Background
This study employed DNA barcoding to identify and differentiate Solanum procumbens, a potential medicinal plant used from other species in Solanaceae family. Eleven plant samples of Solanum spp. with morphological characteristics similar with those of S. procumbens and S. trilobatum were collected from various locations across Vietnam. Five DNA barcode markers were analyzed for identifying Solanum procumbens and its morphologically cryptic species Solanum trilobatum.
Results
Ten putative S. procumbens samples displayed a high identity (99.6–99.7 %) with the reference sequence within the transfer RNA leucine-transfer RNA phenylalanine (trnL–trnF) region. DNA sequences of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region exhibited lower identity with the reference sequence, ranging from 94 % to 97.25 %. Despite this difference, DNA barcoding effectively differentiated these individuals, with both chloroplast trnL–trnF and nuclear ITS barcodes achieving high identification accuracy. The precision of trnL–trnF and ITS in species identification was validated using dried leaf samples of the putative S. procumbens and S. trilobatum. The consistency between fresh and dried samples confirms that our results are reliable and applicable in the pharmaceutical industry.
Conclusions
Phylogenetic analysis based on barcoding data aligned with morphology-based phenogram. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of DNA barcoding for accurate identification of S. procumbens, particularly when morphological traits are ambiguous.

期刊介绍:
Plant Gene publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in plants, algae and other photosynthesizing organisms (e.g., cyanobacteria), and plant-associated microorganisms. Plant Gene strives to be a diverse plant journal and topics in multiple fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: Gene discovery and characterization, Gene regulation in response to environmental stress (e.g., salinity, drought, etc.), Genetic effects of transposable elements, Genetic control of secondary metabolic pathways and metabolic enzymes. Herbal Medicine - regulation and medicinal properties of plant products, Plant hormonal signaling, Plant evolutionary genetics, molecular evolution, population genetics, and phylogenetics, Profiling of plant gene expression and genetic variation, Plant-microbe interactions (e.g., influence of endophytes on gene expression; horizontal gene transfer studies; etc.), Agricultural genetics - biotechnology and crop improvement.
