The Role of DNA Barcoding in Forest Genetic Resources

Abstract

DNA barcodes have provided a new biological tool for organismal forest scientist to increase the understanding of the natural world. Over the last decade four plant DNA barcode markers and ITS2, have been developed, tested, and used to address basic questions in systematics, ecology, evolutionary biology and conservation, including community assembly, species interaction networks, taxonomic discovery, and assessing priority areas for environmental protection. Forensic investigators have also applied these plant DNA barcodes in the regulatory areas of traffic in endangered species and monitoring commercial products, such as plants and herbal supplements. Major challenges ahead will focus on global plant DNA barcode library and adopting genomic sequencing technologies for a more efficient and cost-effective workflow in applying these genetic identification markers to additional fields of biological.
Application and important: DNA barcoding is allow to conservation and endangered species of flora to found in Forest.
Conclusion: DNA barcoding is beneficial for conservation of forest trees in world. The valuable tree of forests could be conserved and sustained for future with the help of DNA barcoding in tree improvement programme. DNA barcoding will allow forest scientist to recognize and discovery known species in nature.
