Abstract:Inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) polymorphism in Citrus indica Tanaka (Rutaceae), an endemic and threatened wild species, was examined along with three other closely related wild taxa (C. medica L., C. latipes (Swingle) Tanaka, and C. sp. ‘Memang athur’) by analyzing 53 representative accessions sampled from North-east India. Jaccard's similarity values among 53 accessions of Citrus ranged from 0.46 to 0.97 (average = 0.75). Genetic similarity values among all the 34 accessions of C. indica were found in the range of 0.82 to 0.97 with an average of 0.90. Heterozygosity (Ht = 0.123) and Shannon's information index (I = 0.188) values estimated for C. indica revealed significantly low level of genetic variation within the species. UPGMA dendrogram grouped all 53 accessions of Citrus into four major clusters: Cluster I – C. latipes; Cluster II – C. medica; Cluster III – ‘Memang athur’ and Cluster IV – C. indica. The dendrogram placed all the 34 accessions of C. indica in five sub-clusters under Cluster IV. The placement of C. indica accessions in various sub-clusters and groups in the dendrogram was based on molecular differentiation of individual accessions rather than their geographical origin. Very low genetic diversity and destruction of its natural habitat pose serious threat to C. indica even in the Citrus Gene Sanctuary in Nokrek Biosphere Reserve (NBR) in Meghalaya. Low genetic variability, heterozygosity and Shannon's information index in C. medica, C. latipes and ‘Memang athur’ are also concerns that need to be addressed for developing appropriate strategies to conserve the genetic diversity extant in these valuable genetic resources.
