ANALYSIS OF ITS2 AND trnH-psbA IN PLANT SPECIES IN MALAYSIA
DNA barcoding is important because it helps to do the identification of illegal trading as well as substitution of either accidental or purposeful replacement of herbs with cheaper alternatives in herbal medicine. Scientists or researchers can also determine the type and the number of plants present...

DNA barcoding is important because it helps to do the identification of illegal trading as well as substitution of either accidental or purposeful replacement of herbs with cheaper alternatives in herbal medicine. Scientists or researchers can also determine the type and the number of plants present in a country and take action to protect the species from extinction. However, there is the possibility that barcoding success was affected by plants sourced in different countries as they may have their own evolutionary pathway based on the different selection pressures, hybridizing, and mutating. Success also depends on the loci used for barcoding. Hence, this study checks on the ability of the ITS2 and trnH-psbA in identification of three different plant groups, in the families Malvaceae (Hibuscus rosa-sinensis), Jasminaceae (Jasminum multiflorum) and Verbenaceae (Clerodendrum thomsoniae) found in Malaysia, when compared to a database populated with samples from elsewhere.
