Abstract

Objective: The purpose of study was to discover the phylogenetic relations and plant barcoding of 17 plants from Huperziaceae.

Methods: Phylogenetic tree of chloroplast trnH-psbA gene of 17 plants from Huperziaceae was constructed by software.

Results: It showed that Huperziaceae could be divided into two genera Huperzia and Phlegmariurus and bootstrap value reached 91%.

Conclusions: Holub and Qing' taxonomy was supported and 17 species in Huperziaceae were monophyletic groups and it suggested that trnH-psbA could be used as a DNA barcode to identify plants.
