Abstract

Pandanus amaryllifolius is cultivated in home gardens in coastal regions of India. Leaves of P. amaryllifolius are scented and exploited commercially by flavour industry. In the present attempt, 40 clonal populations were used for genetic diversity assessment using ISSR and AFLP molecular marker. In ISSR based diversity analysis, out of 38 scorable primers, only one primer showed polymorphism and most of the polymorphic fragments were found in clonal populations from Thailand locality only. In AFLP based diversity analysis all clonal populations from India showed very low genetic distance except Kolkata and Amtala but these populations showed more similarity with Sri Lanka clones and these two localities showed more similarity with Thailand population. Present study confirms that the species has very low level of genetic variation even though it is exposed to a wide range of environmental conditions across peninsular India. Thus, the genome of P. amaryllifolius is said to be highly conserved and remained unaffected through its spread. As per previous report P. amaryllifolius has been introduced in Kolkata, India in 1798 from Indonesia, the similarity is shown by the populations of West Bengal with Thailand population which is close to Indonesia. The populations from Sri Lanka showed similarity with the populations from east and west coast of India suggests that Sri Lanka may be the another source of introduction of P. amaryllifolius in India.
