Antiaris toxicaria Lesch. is a deciduous tree belongs to the family Moraceae, is native to the Old World tropics. It is an important industrial forest plant for its veneer, plywood and medicinal values. In the present study, genetic diversity of different populations of A. toxicaria collected from sacred groves of the Western Ghats, India has been evaluated. Thirteen RAPD and ten ISSR primers produced a total of 175 and 143 reproducible bands, respectively. RPI 10 of RAPD primers used showed maximum (0.49) polymorphic information content (PIC), while UBC 809 (0.37) exhibits maximum PIC among ISSR primers. Nei’s genetic similarity showed that pairwise similarity coefficients ranged from 0.460 to 0.832 in RAPD analysis, whereas 0.550–0.842 in ISSR analysis. Understanding the genetic diversity among natural A. toxicaria populations will be useful for effective long-term conservation.

抗毒白粉病遗传多样性的评估。来自印度西高止山脉的神圣树林

Antiaris toxicaria Lesch。是属于桑科的落叶树，原产于旧大陆热带地区。它是单板，胶合板和药用价值的重要工业林植物。在本研究中，毒曲霉不同种群的遗传多样性已评估了从印度西高止山脉的神圣树林中收集的材料。13条RAPD和10条ISSR引物分别产生了175条和143条可重复的条带。使用的RAPD引物的RPI 10显示最大（0.49）多态信息含量（PIC），而UBC 809（0.37）则显示ISSR引物中最大的PIC。Nei的遗传相似性表明，RAPD分析的成对相似系数在0.460到0.832之间，而ISSR分析的成对相似系数在0.550-0.842之间。了解天然毒曲霉种群之间的遗传多样性对于有效的长期保存将是有用的。
