Genetic diversity among omani basil (ocimum basilicum l.) landraces using RAPD markers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Basil (Ocimum L.), a medicinal and aromatic plant genus, is widely used in food and pharmaceutical industry for ages. Our previous studies reported high potential of essential oils in the unexplored and un-exploited landraces of Omani basil. In the present study, nine Omani landraces of common basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) were analyzed for the assessment of genetic diversity with RAPD markers. Out of fifteen tested seven primers generated a total of 25 alleles with an average of 3.57 per locus. Maximum six alleles were amplified with the primer OPK16 while primers OPK1 and OPK10 amplified only two alleles. Mean polymorphic information content (PIC) was 0.5. Dendrogram based on similarity matrix grouped landraces 1 and 3; 4and W together showing similarity coefficient of 1.

Submitted: Aug 3, 2013; Accepted: Sep 10, 2013; Published: Sep 18, 2013 Abstract: Basil is used as culinary herb and assigned as medicine and spice plant. In order to evaluate some morphological variability and RAPD analysis for herb growth and oil yield characters among three varieties (French, Purple and Lemon basils), an experiment was conducted in two seasons (2010-2011) over two cuts in co...

Morphological, chemical and genetic differences of 12 tree basil (Ocimum gratissimum L.) accessions were studied to determine whether volatile oils and flavonoids can be used as taxonomical markers and to examine the relationship between RAPDs to these chemical markers. Eugenol, thymol, and geraniol were the major volatile oil constituents found in Ocimum gratissimum. Xantomicrol and cirsimarit...

There is a lack of information on the molecular characterization of Ocimum species and hence, efforts have been made under the present study to characterize 17 Ocimum genotypes belonging to 5 different species (O. basilicum, O. americanum, O. sanctum, O. gratissimum and O. Polystachyon) through random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers. PCR amplifi...
