Summary

Story summary

A new molecular toolkit for ginseng breeding improves upon slow traditional methods.
The SNP chip and genetic map will speed up breeding cycles and enhance cultivar purity.
These tools enable seed purity testing, product authentication, and cross-species analysis in the Panax genus.
Genotyping 919 ginseng accessions showed high homozygosity, ideal for developing inbred lines.
This research promotes global ginseng cultivation and genetic diversity preservation.
