Plastome-wide comparison reveals new SNV resources for the authentication of Dendrobium huoshanense and its corresponding medicinal slice (Huoshan Fengdou)

The plastome sequence of Dendrobium huoshanense were sequenced and compared with other 16 Dendrobium species. Our plastome-wide comparison revealed a total of 19 SNVs that could be used for the authentication of D. huoshanense. On the base of the explored SNVs, D. huoshanense and its medicinal slices were quickly distinguished from its adulterants using the RT-ARMS method.231
