Abstract


Jewels of Opar (Talinum paniculatum) is a herbaceous plant in the Red List of Vietnam medicinal plants containing pharmaceutically active substances such as phitosterol, saponin, flavonoid, tannin, steroids, lowers cholesterol. When the Jewels of Opar plants are deformed or have been processed samples or preliminary processing, so if it is only relies on morphological characteristics then that are either obstructed or easily mistaken. Therefore, using DNA barcodes as markers to identify the species will be accurate and quick results. The analytic results of morphological characteristics in combination with rpoC1 DNA barcode allow us to identify Jewels of Opar samples collected at Bim Son and Quan Hoa (Thanh Hoa) are a species of Talinum paniculatum.
