Genetic diversity of Polygonum barbatum in Yamuna water by using RAPD Molecular marker

The genetic diversity of Polygonum barbatum was analyzed using a RAPD primer. Three plants and water samples were collected from three different sites of Uttar Pradesh, viz. Shergarh ghat, Auraiya, from the banks of Yamuna and Poiya Ghat, Agra, again on the banks of Yamuna. These two plants were studied for variations from the plant from the third site, on the banks of Keetham Lake, used as a control. There was a large variation seen in these samples.
