The obtained differential gDNA fragments by SSH were then hybridized with gDNA ar- rays consisting of multiple whole genomes of several species （adulterants and/or closely related species of F. muhiflora） and four differential fragments were screened uniquely representing F. muhiflora, which could be used as F. muhiflora species-specific probes. The screened DNA probes were tested by reverse dot blot hybridization and the results demonstrated that these probes could be used reliably to identify F, muhiflora.
