Abstract
Molecular markers (DNA barcodes) used for identifying medicinal plant species are considered highly reliable and widely applicable, particularly for taxa of pharmacological importance. Accordingly, DNA barcoding has become an indispensable tool in taxonomic research and conservation. Fundamentally, a DNA barcode is a DNA sequence of approximately 400-1000 bp that serves as a molecular marker for rapidly and accurately determining phylogenetic relationships and species identity, independent of morphological characteristics of specimens. In this study, we isolated and sequenced the rpoB gene of Vernonia amygdalina Del. (commonly known as bitter leaf) and assessed its genetic relationships as a basis for subsequent investigations. The amplified rpoB fragment was 506 bp in length and was used for comparative analysis against published rpoB sequences in GenBank. The results showed that the rpoB sequence of our sample formed a completely distinct genetic lineage, separate from all previously published rpoB sequences. This finding demonstrates that the rpoB sequence of the studied specimens exhibits substantial genetic divergence relative to GenBank data. These results support the reliability and accuracy of using the rpoB gene fragment to elucidate the genetic relationships of Vernonia amygdalina Del.
