In this paper, we first provided a reliable and effective method for the identification
of T. edulis and its adulterants by sequencing and analyzing the three candidate DNA barcodes from the chloroplast genome: the psbA-trnH intergenic spacer (psbA-trnH), the ribulose-1,4-bisphosphate carboxylase large subunit gene (rbcL) and the ribosomal RNA maturase gene (matK).
