Abstract
Three commercial Citrullus lanatus varieties, namely Sonya, Kanya and Sweet black-2, were investigated with cyto-molecular techniques for characterization. Despite having similar somatic chromosome numbers and karyotype formulae (2n = 22), these three varieties had considerable diversities in Chromomycin A3 (CMA)- and 4′, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI)-banding patterns. The total somatic chromosomal length was longest in Sweet black-2 (71.44 ± 2.94 µm) and shortest in Sonya (42.31 ± 2.45 µm). Each variety's unique GC- and AT-rich chromatin composition was represented by a variety of numbers, percentages, and patterns of distribution. Eleven random primers were employed to evaluate the genetic diversity among three varieties. Each variety showed a distinct fingerprinting pattern with 88.72% polymorphism while having 10 of the same RAPD bands. Bangladesh J. Bot. 52(4): 1033-1040, 2023 (December)
期刊介绍:
Bangladesh in situated on the north of Bay of Bengal. Climatically it is a humid subtropical country. Most of the land is deltaic plain of two great rivers, the Ganges and the Bhrammaputra and it tributaries. The country has rich diversity of plants. Main crops cultivated are Rice, Jute, Wheat, Maize, Sugarcane, Mustard and different kinds of Lentils. There are a good number of Public and Private Universities and Plant Research Establishments.
Bangladesh Journal of Botany is the official organ of the Bangladesh Botanical Society established in 1972. Since 1972 Bangladesh Journal of Botany is being published regularly. Two issues of the Journal are published, one in June and another in December.
Scientific papers (Full paper and short communication) on any field of Plant Sciences from anywhere in the World are considered for publication in Bangladesh Journal of Botany.
