DNA Barcoding of Dillenia philippinensis Rolfe and D. luzoniensis (S. Vidal) Merr. (Dilleniaceae) from Oriental Mindoro and Quezon City, Philippines
Dillenia philippinensis Rolfe and D. luzoniensis (S. Vidal) Merr. are Philippine endemic plants for which there is limited publicly available DNA sequences and are in need of conservation due to their near-threatened status in the wild. This study was carried out to identify D. philippinensis and D. luzoniensis collected from various barangays in the municipality of Pola, Oriental Mindoro and the Ateneo de Manila University campus. DNA barcoding was used to successfully identify D. philippinensis and D. luzoniensis gathered from the aforementioned sampling sites. The molecular data from barcode analysis can serve as a means of identification for plants that have a limited number of sources from the wild.
The study was funded by the University Research Council of Ateneo de Manila University.
