Comparative study and genetic diversity in Malva using srap molecular markers

The Malva genus has 25-40 species and it can be considered as an annual and/or biannual herb. are indicated with potential therapeutic cicatrizing analgesic by the Ministry of Health. aim this study was to analyze SRAP (Sequence-related amplified polymorphism) markers in a total 70 accessions species, which included five neglecta Wallr., pusilla Sm., sylvestris L., verticillata nicaeensis All.. A 89 (Number loci) (NTL) DNA bands were produced through polymerase chain reaction amplifications (PCR) amplification species. These combinations 5 selective primers. number fragments ranged from 10 27. predicted unbiased gene diversity (UHe) varied between 0.077 (Malva sylvestris) 0.382 pusilla). genetic similarities three estimated 0.70 0.91. Neighbor-Joining tree results showed two major clusters. According analysis, aegyptia had lowest similarity. Our provided great molecular identification all assayed genotypes, have shown that there is large quantity among accessions. Objectives were; a) estimate diversity; b) evaluate population relationships using NJ approaches. Current implications breeding conservation programs.
