Genetic Diversity and Characterization of Ocimum sanctum Collected from Anand, Central Gujarat Region, by PCR-based RAPD Markers
Abstract: Genetic relationships were examined among thirty germplasm accessions belonging to ten Ocimum species using RAPD markers. A very high degree of polymorphism (98.92%) was observed. UPGMA cluster analysis of genetic similarity indices grouped all the accessions into two major clusters corresponding to previously reported botanical sections. Intra-clustering within the two clusters precisely grouped the accessions belonging to one species in onesub-cluster as expected from their genetic background. Results of this …

Practicing Economy of Nature through Traditional Rice Variety Conservation: A Case Study from West Bengal, India
Abstract: AbstractTraditional rice varieties (TRVs), continue to be cultivated defying the allurement of high-profits from cultivating high yielding varieties. The reasons why TRVs are still cultivated, withstanding extreme pressures leading to disappearance of many TRVs are interesting, especially for their associated non-market values. This study documents 50 TRVs being cultivated by farmers (n= 488) in three districts of West-Bengal, followed by a criterion-based analysis using UPGMA algorithm applied with Bray-Curtis similarity-index …
