Phylogenic analysis of Indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) through molecular markers.

Phylogenic analysis of Indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) through molecular markers.

Forty eight genotypes of basmati and non basmati rice were analyzed following SSR and ISSR marker assays for fingerprinting to protect rice export from adulteration and to maintain credibility. Genotypes under investigation were grouped into two clusters. The clustering pattern remained similar for over three assays with minor variations. Vallabh Basmati- 21, Vallabh Basmati-22, and Vallabh Basmati-23 (MAUB-57) developed by this university were clustered together into one sub cluster for SSR and SSR+ISSR assays.
