DNA Barcoding: Philippine Cinnamomum Schaeffer (Lauraceae)

More about the book

The study focuses on the genetic analysis of Philippine Cinnamomum species, known for their aromatic properties and various uses. Through DNA isolation and sequencing, researchers identified 36 quality DNA samples from 27 collected species, revealing a high identity match in sequences. The analysis clustered the species into two main groups, with notable genetic divergence among some. This research highlights the genetic diversity and potential for further study of these economically significant trees, confirming their classification as Cinnamomum species despite geographic variations.
