RESUMO
As traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, Physalis plants have a variety of pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-cancer effects, and have been used for the treatment of malaria, rheumatism, hepatitis, asthma, and cancer. In addition to the medicinal value, many Physalis species are also the high-grade nutrition health care fruits, can be made canned and candied etc. In the study, the application progress of DNA molecular marker technologies in medicinal Physalis plants in recent years was reviewed, in order to provide an important molecular technical basis for the identification, classification and rational development and protection of medicinal Physalis resources.

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was assessed in 13 Chinese species of Dendrobium. Three primer combinations E+ACT/M+CAC, E+AAC/M+CAC and E+ACA/M+CAC were used for selective amplification. Between 100 bp and 300 bp, a totle of 346 fragments were detected, in which 342 are polymorphic. The rate of polymorphism was 98.8%. The AFLP data were analyzed using Nei & Li similarity coefficient and UPGMA Cluster method. The result indicated that the 13 species were clustered into three groups on coefficient level 0.54. Group I included D. falconeri, D. officinale, D. wilsonii, D. hercoglossum, D. crystallinum. D. hancockii, D. guangxiense, D. primulinum, D. crepidatum, D. thyrsiflorum. Group II included D. chrysotoxum. Group III included D. loddigesii. This outcome was corresponding to the classification result by using the traditional method. It is concluded that AFLP markers can be used on the studies of genetic relationships and classification of Dendrobium.

RAPDs and AFLPs were used to investigate the genetic variation of 14 species of Cymbidium. A great diversity was shown by 12 random primers and three primer combinations. UPGMA cluster analysis showed that the results from the RAPD and AFLP analysis were similar and the genetic distances were closest between C. ensifolium and C. sinense, C. kanran and C. faberi var. omeiense, C. mastersii and C. eburneum respectively.
