| Abstract: | Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is a DNA
based technique, which refers to DNA fragments amplified by a polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) using a single arbitrary primer resulting in genetic
polymorphism, observed between different genomes. RAPD has been extensively
used for identification of herbs and herbal preparations due to its rapidity,
simplicity, economy, and absence of prior genetic information and requirement
of less sophisticated equipment. This review provides application of RAPD
technique in identification and authentication of herbal materials and
medicines. |
