Abstract

Koran ginseng(Pnax ginseng) is one of the most important medicinal plants in Orient. Among the nine cultivars of Korea ginseng, Chunpoong commands a much greater market value and has been planted widely. A rapid and reliable method for discriminating the Chunpoong cultivar was developed by exploiting a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the mitochondrial nad7 intron 4 region of nine Korea ginseng cultivars using universal primers. A SNP was detected between Chunpoong and other cultivars and modified allele-specific primers were designed from this SNP site to effective method for the geneic identification of the Chunpoong cultivar of ginseng.
