Genetic Fingerprinting of Goldenseal
Zhou, S. and Sauve, R. J. Native Plants Journal 7(3):284-285. 2006.
Our earlier publication indicated 3 accessions of goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis L. [Ranunculaceae]) originated in Florida, although our results indicated they were more closely related to Tennessee and Georgia genotypes. After further investigation with our plant supplier, it appears that 2 of the 3 accessions purportedly from Florida were indeed from Tennessee and Georgia— AFLP is a robust method for correctly identifying the source of goldenseal genotypes.
