The analysis of DNA nucleotide sequences is an important source of information in the identification of plant taxa or plant components in the composition of medicines. In this work, we studied the possibility of using universal molecular markers for DNA barcoding of rare plant species distributed in the Altai Biosphere Reserve, located in the Altai Republic (South Siberia, Russia). In order to identify commercially-used endangered species, universal markers recommended for DNA barcoding were applied: ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacers) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA and four regions of chloroplast DNA: trnL-F, trnH-psbA rpl32-trnL, and rpl16. Among 61 species of rare flowering plants protected in the Altai Biosphere Reserve, ten species belonging to eight families were studied. The results of sequencing showed that ITS, rpl32-trnL and trnH-psbA core plant barcodes are the most effective markers for discriminating rare species from the Altai Biosphere Reserve.

ДНК-штрихкодирование некоторых редких видов растений Алтая по данным анализа пяти генетических маркеров. Анализ нуклеотидных последовательностей ДНК является важным источником информации при идентификации таксонов у растений или растительных компонентов в составе медицинских препаратов. В настоящей работе нами исследована возможность применения молекулярных маркеров для ДНК-штрихкодирования редких краснокнижных видов растений, обитающих на территории Алтайского биосферного заповедника. Для идентификации видов были использованы маркерные локусы ITS ярДНК и trnL-F, trnH-psbA rpl32-trnL и rpl16 хлДНК. Результаты секвенирования показали, что наиболее эффективными для идентификации редких видов являются маркеры ITS, rpl32-trnL и trnH-psbA.
