Genetic Relationship Of Some Economically Important Medicinal Plants Of Northeast India

Six economically important medicinal plants which are also used as food by locals of Northeast India were analysed for genetic relatedness and diversity. RAPD markers were used in the present investigation where a total of 181 polymorphic bands were amplified with 100% polymorphism. A UPGMA tree constructed using Nei’s genetic distance measure showed three clears clusters. This study will provide a preliminary data for conservation of economically important medicinal plants of NE India.
