Barcode ITS2: a useful tool for identifying Trachelospermum jasminoides and a good monitor for medicine market

Abstract Trachelospermum jasminoides is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the use of the plant’s local alternatives is frequent, causing potential clinical problems. The T. jasminoides sold in the medicine market is commonly dried and sliced, making traditional identification m...
