  • Title: Application of sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) analysis to authenticate Panax species and their adulterants.
    Author: Wang J, Ha WY, Ngan FN, But PP, Shaw PC.
    Journal: Planta Med; 2001 Nov; 67(8):781-3. PubMed ID: 11731932.
    Abstract:
    A 420-bp RAPD fragment from Panax quinquefolius was converted to a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker. The main difference between the SCAR of P. quinquefolius and its homolog in P. ginseng is the presence of a 25 bp insertion in the latter. Primers derived from this sequence were successfully used to authenticate six Panax species and two common adulterants.
