- DNA Barcoding for Herbarium Specimens of the Red Alga and Molecular Marker Development for Species Identification. Lee, Soon Jeong Lee, Eun-Young Kim, Bo Yeon Lee, Sang-Rae The genus (Gigartinales, Solieriaceae) comprises edible red algae that are economically important food ingredients in Korea, Japan, and China. In Korea, two species, and , have been identified, with the latter being predominantly reported. Recently, molecular phylogenetic analysis enabled the identification of (Gigartinales; Solieriaceae) on Jeju Island (Korea). In this study, we used a DNA barcoding method to re-examine herbarium specimens deposited at the National Institute of Biological Resources (Incheon, Korea). Specimens were collected from Korean coastal regions between 2009 and 2019. Molecular analyses based on the L and 1 sequences of the "" herbarium specimens revealed that the specimens were of two other species, and (Gracilariales; Gracilariaceae). Our work represents a case study for establishing a misidentification at the inter-ordinal level among herbarium specimens without DNA sequence verification. Moreover, we developed a molecular marker for the effective species-level identification of and specimens. The DNA barcoding method provides useful information regarding distribution and taxonomy.
