Abstract: Many drugs in modern medicines originate from plants and the first step in drug production, is the recognition of plants needed for this purpose. This article presents a bagging approach for medical plants recognition based on their DNA sequences. In this work, the authors have developed a system that recognize DNA sequences of 14 medical plants, first they divided the 14-class data set into bi class sub-data sets, then instead of using an algorithm to classify the 14-class data set, they used the same algorithm to classify the sub-data sets. By doing so, they have simplified the problem of classification of 14 plants into sub-problems of bi class classification. To construct the subsets, the authors extracted all possible pairs of the 14 classes, so they gave each class more chances to be well predicted. This approach allows the study of the similarity between DNA sequences of a plant with each other plants. In terms of results, the authors have obtained very good results in which the accuracy has been doubled (from 45% to almost 80%). Classification of a new sequence was completed according to majority vote.
