【Abstract】 The sequence of rDNA has become an important nuclear locus for molecular systematic investigations of botany in recent years, and the technique of rDNA spacer sequence get great development. One of the internal transcribed unit of nuclear rDNA is composed of 18SrDNA, ITS1, 5.8SrDNA, ITS2 and 26SrDNA. ITS1 and ITS2 can be readily amplified by PCR and sequenced using universal primers. Nuclear rRNA genes in botany are arranged in long tandem repeating usits, much like those of other higher eukaryotes. Owing to rapid concerted evolution, the repeat units have homogenized or nearly so in most species. The sequences contain many variable sites and potential informative sites among related species, and have been proven to be a useful molecular marker in phylogenetic and evolution of botany. 5SrDNA are also arranged in long tandem repeating units, which was widely used in identification of somatic hybrid. The paper has generally reviewed the principle and keystone of PCR-RFLP, SSR, SSCP and nucleic acid analysis. In the paper, we also report the application of nrDNA in botany taxonomy, botany phylogeny, identification of genuine crude drugs and identification of somatic hybrid using 5.8SrDNA. Nucleolus ribosome DNA can be used in not only systematics and evolution of botany but also phylogenetics et al.更多还原
