Thangjam, Robert
Genetic variation in three populations of Parkia timoriana (DC.) Merr. grown in the Manipur state of northeast India was analysed using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. A total of 30 individual trees representing three populations were sampled and studied using 22 University of British Columbia (UBC set no. 9) primers in the present study. Of the total 22 primers, 19 primers produced distinct, reproducible and well-resolved fragments. Overall, a total number of 111 fragments were generated by the 19 primers and of which, 51 were polymorphic (45.94 %). The average number of loci and polymorphic loci generated per primer were 5.84 and 2.68, respectively. The genetic variation generated by ISSR markers within the three populations studied ranges from 33.33 to 18.92 %. The overall genetic differentiation (Gst) among populations was estimated to be 0.29, and the number of gene flow (Nm) was estimated to be 1.23 per generation between populations. Of the total genetic variance, 70.04 % was attributed to within-population diversity while 4.72 % differences to the among-populations. The genetic similarity across the individuals belonging to the three populations was represented by the dendrogram showing the grouping of the individuals into three major groups which is also supported by the principle component analysis. The present finding asserts the effectiveness of ISSR procedure for assessing genetic variations of P. timoriana populations and provides valuable genetic information that can be utilized for breeding and conservation strategies.
