Abstract

Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) of several populations of Artemisia vulgaris, several species of Artemisia and several genera of family Asteraceae were obtained by Southern hybridization of DNAs digested with two enzymes Hind III and Eco0109 I and probed with a tobacco chloroplast DNA encoding for the entire rRNA operon. The hybridization revealed identical banding patterns among A. vulgaris populations. A remarkable degree of homogeneity was also observed at the inter species and inter generic levels of the family Asteraceae. Thus, chloroplast DNA encoding the rRNA is a potential probe for evolutionary studies.
