Studies on intra-specific variation in a multipotent medicinal plant Ocimum sanctum Linn. using isozymes

Unique banding profiles of esterase, peroxidase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phospahatase were observed in O. sanctum, which represent the fingerprint of medicinally important plant. Such finger printing is useful in differentiating the species and act as biochemical markers for these species in plant systematic studies in the near future.
