Estimation of Genetic Variability in Plantago ovata Cultivars

  • Published:
Biologia Plantarum

Abstract

Five cultivars of Plantago ovata Forsk. (medicinal plant) have been developed by different agricultural universities in India. Genetic variability of these cultivars was estimated using RAPD markers. The data were correlated to morphological characters and a dendrogram was obtained from Jaccard's coefficient.
