Objective:
From gene lever identified the asexual stage of Taishan cordyceps.
Methods:
Using rDNA ITS regions as molecular targets, PCR amplification, sequencing, and comparing with the other ITS region sequences of known.
Results:
Through the Blast search of GenBank, the ITS sequence is same as the sequence of Paecilomyces tenuipes (100% ).
Conclusion:
The asexual stage of Taishan cordyceps was proved through molecular biology method for the first time. The results showed that the asexual stage of Taishan cordyceps. should be Isariafarinosa, not be Hirsutella sinensis.
