Abstract: | Genetic relationships were examined among thirty germplasm accessions belonging to five Ocimum species using RAPD markers. A very high degree of polymorphism (98.20%) was observed. UPGMA cluster analysis of genetic similarity indices grouped all the accessions into two major clusters corresponding to previously reported botanical sections. Intra-clustering within the two clusters precisely grouped the accessions belonging to one species in one sub-cluster as expected from their genetic background. Our results show that RAPD technique is a sensitive, precise and efficient tool for genomic analysis in Ocimum species, that may be useful in future studies, by assigning new unclassified germplasm accessions to specific taxonomic groups and reclassifying previously classified accessions of other Ocimum species by traditional criteria on a more objective basis. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
