Genetic diversity and relationships among salvia species by ISSR markers

Species identification is fundamentally important within the fields of conservation, biology, biogeography and ecology. Salvia species are herbaceous, biennial or annual, strongly aromatic. Inter-Simple sequence repeats (ISSR) molecular markers were used for evaluate genetic diversity relationship analysis 30 species. Ten selected ISSR primers amplified 116 loci, respectively, which all polymorphic. The obtained average polymorphism information content 0.39, band informativeness 10.5 marker index 3.1 revealed high prevailing among accessions. dendrogram was constructed based on separated individuals into sub-clusters in accordance with their Our results indicated that can be as a reliable informative technique evaluation relationships objectives present study are: 1) identify species, 2) what these taxa Iran, 3) to investigate inter-relationship?
