Abstract
Gmelina arborea (G. arborea), a plant of great medicinal as well as socioeconomic importance renowned for its traditional utilization, lacks prior genetic diversity studies specifically in Gujarat, India. Therefore, the present study aimed to delve into the genetic variations within G. arborea across six distinct regions (Kutch, Sabarkantha, Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Panchmahal, and Valsad) in Gujarat. This investigation employed Geographical Information System (GIS) for spatial data evaluation, as well as DNA barcoding technique to corroborate the plant’s authenticity. Leveraging 15 different Inter Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) markers facilitated the evaluation of genetic diversity present amongst selected regions. Based on Jaccard’s dissimilarity co-efficient, a cluster analysis has been rendered by applying the Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) and Unweighted Neighbour Joining (UNJ) methods. The present study portrayed a significant level of polymorphism of 88% among G. arborea from different regions. The assessment of Polymorphic Information Content (PIC) resulted in a value of 0.42, indicating the presence of compelling genetic variation within these regions. The dendrogram illustrated the genetic relatedness and diversity, with a cophenetic correlation coefficient of 0.9818 (UPGMA) and 0.9962 (UNJ). The accession from the Ahmedabad region stands out as the most diverse, whereas the plant from Panchmahal represents the most primitive genome of all. Notably, this research marks the inaugural and comprehensive genetic assessment of G. arborea from Gujarat, India. These findings provide a valuable foundation for further research and conservation strategies for G. arborea and other medicinal plants.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
