| Research Abstract |
To facilitate the studies on wild-herbivore feeding, a simple feed profiling based on feces' DNA analysis was developed using several sequence length polymorphisms recognized in chloroplast intergenic spacer regions(trnD. trnY, trnF-trnL, trnP-trnW, etc.) instead of DNA barcoding. A database on the sequence length polymorphism in these spacer regions was constructed for identifying the fed plant species quickly.
