For centuries, Chinese medicinal materials have been used for
therapeutic purposes. Chinese medicinal materials are traditionally
identified by their organoleptic characteristics, such as the
texture or the odor. With the advancement of DNA technology, a
molecular approach has become an important tool to complement
organoleptic, morphological, anatomical and chemical techniques for
the authentication and quality assurance of Chinese medicinal
materials.In 2002, the authors published Authentication of Chinese
Medicinal Materials by DNA Technology which is the first
international reference in this field. After 20 years, this new
edition updates the various useful techniques and describes the new
techniques developed for molecular authentication. The procedures
of each DNA technique are provided in detail for 'step-by-step'
experiments.This book is divided into 5 parts with 18 chapters.
Part I reviews the current status of molecular authentication and
introduces a wide range of DNA techniques. Part II lists the
experimental procedures for molecular authentication. Part III
describes the DNA fingerprinting-based techniques. Part IV
describes the DNA sequencing-based techniques. Finally, Part V
provides an account on the recent advancement in molecular
authentication, including guidelines for setting up a proper DNA
laboratory and concluding remarks.
