Application of Partial Internal Transcribed Spacer Sequences for the Discrimination of Artemisia capillaris from Other Artemisia Species

Figure 1

Multiple alignments of nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) among Artemisia species. The dots indicate consensus nucleotides and the dashes represent gaps. Numbers represent sample numbers (see Table 1). Bold arrows indicate the primers used to amplify DNA markers of the Artemisia species, and colored boxes represent nucleotide sequences as well as the positions of the ITS in the primers. Black boxes with an asterisk indicate variations in the nucleotides within species.
