Genetic diversity analysis of Leptadenia pyrotechnica in Jodhpur region of India

Genetic diversity of Leptadenia pyrotechnica were analysed by RAPD, ISSR and ISJ genetic markers from Jodhpur region of India in present investigation. Cumulative data of three SPAR markers revealed 37.6% polymorphism. Maximum 73% genetic variability was observed within population than 27% between populations. Genetic similarity and differences based on UPGMA dendrogram and PCo Analysis are closely related to their geographical distances in natural habitats of Leptadenia pyrotechnica. Geographically Agolai and Rohat populations are distantly located than Bilara and Soila populations in natural habitats and is also evidenced in UPGMA dendrogram and PCo Analysis. Jodhpur city may be a major physical barrier of cross pollination and genetic exchange between Agolai population from remaining four population of L. pyrotechnica in present investigation.
