Abstract
The method of direct amplification of length polymorphism (DALP) was applie d to authenticate Panax ginseng and P. quinquefolius. A 636-bp DALP fragmen t was present in all P. ginseng but absent in all the P. quinquefolius cult ivars examined. We have shown that the use of DALP and conversion of specif ic polymorphic band to sequence-tagged site (STS) for quick authentication may be applied to authenticate related medicinal materials.
