DNA Barcoding for MPR Fruits and Vegetables

Abstract

For last decades a specific approach (DNA barcoding) which based on using DNA data is widely used for characterization and identification of the biological species (cultivar). Research shows that its success on getting true results depends on the taxonomical groups which have been investigated. The method has some small differences among taxonomical groups because of the difference of the genetic information of the source and its cell structure. In this part of the chapter we focused on using DNA barcoding for MPR fruits and vegetables which consumption is quite common today. For this purpose, we gave information about some important steps of the procedure and historical, organizational, and literature information about DNA barcoding.
