Abstract

In the present study simple sequence repeat (SSR) and
intertranscribed spacer markers markers were used in
Desmodium gangeticum to find out the genetic diversity
analysis for the biodiversity conservation of the Species as the
plant is being used in medicinal preparations as well as have
many industrial applications. The study was aimed to find out
the relationships among different accessions. We find intrapopulation
mean genetic value of (1.835) and Shannon (0.641)
among the accessions. in AMOVA analysis, we noticed small
variation accessions as (P = 1).The dendrogram generated
through distance matrix using the SIMQUAL-Dice Coefficient
module of NTSYSpc ver matches to some extent with the PCA
graph. In the barcode ITS marker analysis the UPGMA shows
the accessions clustered into two groups. Blast results showed
maximum E-value in DG2 accession. In conclusion the above
based markers can be used for the population conservation
and authentication of the above medicinally important plant.
