Genetic Diversity and Similarity Studies in different Accessions of Decalepis hamiltonii by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Analysis
Authors(2) :- B. Mohan, B. Rajani Decalepis hamiltonii Wight & Arn is a valuable endemic and endangered medicinal shrub. The species is commonly called as maredu kommulu or barre sugandhi or maradu gaddalu or makali beru belonging to the family Asclepediaceae. Its roots have been used in Ayurveda, the ancient Indian traditional systems of medicine to stimulate appetite, skin diseases, diaphoretic, hemorrhoids, rheumatism, bronchitis, diaphoretic, somatic and antiviral and as a general tonic. It is also useful as a blood purifier, preservative, diarrhea, respiratory disorders and urinary disorders. The present paper deals with Genetic diversity and similarity studies in different accessions of Decalepis hamiltonii by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA analysis. The study was taken up with 15 RAPD Primes, distance matrix (dendrogram) using Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic averages (UPGMA) or neighbour-joining, were calculated using Jaccard’s similarity. The maximum genetic similarity among the collected species was sixty five percentages which was calculated by Jaccard’s coefficient. These results could be very useful to study and manage the genetic resources of an important medicinal plant.
