Rapd marker to assess genetic diversity and exchange genes in Alcea (Malvaceae)

Abstract

In order to comprehend the plant resources' protection and management in every setting, genetic variousness research is required. Because of the minimal number of distinguishing morphological features, for example, leaf sequence and carpel structure, Alcea includes a problematic taxonomy.34 Alcea species are reported in Iran among them, 15 species are endemic. There are no specifics. Alcea genetic variousness was studied using RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA). As a result, we gathered and evaluated six species from five Iranian provinces. Seventy plant samples were gathered in total. Our objectives were to 1) determine the genetic variousness of Alcea species and 2) determine the genetic variousness of Alcea species. 2) Is there a link between a species's genetic makeup and geographical location? 3) Population and taxon genetic configuration. In-plant species, we found considerable variances in quantitative morphological features. Alcea species were separated into two categories using NJ clusters and principal component analysis. The unbiased anticipated heterozygozygosity (UHe) of Alcea rhyticarpa existed in the scope of 0.12. In Alcea aucheri, knowledge of Shannon was increased (0.39). The lowest value, 0.20, was found in Alcea rhyticarpa. In the Alcea species, gene flow (Nm) was quite modest (0.33). The current findings demonstrated RAPD markers and morphometry approaches for studying genetic variousness in Alcea species.
