Abstract

DNA barcode, as a rapid and accurate technique for species discrimination with short DNA fragment, has been hot spot of biotaxonomy in the world, but there are still debates on which DNA region can be used as the standard barcode for land plants. In this article, advantages of DNA barcode, the application and prospect on DNA barcode in plant were described, and the technical process of plant DNA barcode was summarized. Furthermore, some suggestions in research of plant DNA barcode were put forward.
