Genetic Diversity in Amaranth and Its Close Relatives

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Amaranth Genome

Part of the book series: Compendium of Plant Genomes ((CPG))

Abstract

Amaranthus (Amaranthaceae) generally known as amaranth is an annual herbaceous genus, grown under diverse agro-climatic conditions. It has many species carrying nutraceutical properties with the potential to add values to the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. According to their usage, amaranths are broadly classified into the grain, vegetable, weed, and wild type. This chapter helps in the understanding of intra- and inter-specific diversity present in amaranths, evaluated by morphological, biochemical, cytological, and molecular approaches. The understanding of genetic diversity in amaranth breeding programs support in identifying diverse parents to generate segregating population with genetic variability for introgression of desired agronomic traits and to develop high yielding elite varieties of amaranth.
