Officinal rhubarb, the dried root and rhizome of Rheum officinale Baill., Rh. palmatum L, and Rh. tanguticum (Maxim. ex Regel) Maxim. ex Balf. of Polygonaceae family, is one of the most well-known and important traditional Chinese medicines. The growing herbal market has led to the introduction of adulterants, and difficulties in morphological based discrimination has also resulted in concerns over consumer safety. ITS2 as a potential barcode was employed to discriminate officinal rhubarb sampled from the entire distribution range and its adulterants. The minimum K2P interspecific distance between officinal rhubarb source plants and the adulterants were higher than the maximum K2P intraspecific distance within the officinal rhubarb source plants. When the phylogenetic trees were constructed by neighbor joining (NJ), maximum parsimony (MP), maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian methods, all Rheum species were grouped into one Glade, while Polygonum and Rumex species were clustered in another Glade. In the Rheum Glade, all the officinal rhubarb source plants constituted a distinct subclade, while other Rheum species formed other subclades. Our results suggested that the ITS2 region is a more suitable and accurate DNA barcode for distinguishing officinal rhubarb source plants from their adulterants. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
