线粒体是植物细胞中重要细胞器之一,蕴含丰富的DNA信息,与叶绿体基因组、核基因组相结合,能客观地反映物种、居群甚至个体间的遗传特性。针对植物线粒体基因组的基本特征及其在中药DNA分子鉴定中的应用价值、研究现状与进展进行综述。

Mitochondrion is one of the vital organelles in plants. Combined with chloroplast and nuclear genomes, mitochondrial DNA could be used to deduce the evolution of species more correctly. In this paper, we elaborated the characters of mitochondrial genome and reviewed the processes of identification of Chinese materia medica based on mitochondrial DNA sequences.
