Article Synopsis
- Gymnema sylvestre is a medicinal plant in India known for its use in treating diabetes, but it currently lacks organized cultivation and is mostly harvested from the wild.
- A study analyzed the genetic diversity of 118 accessions from 11 wild populations using DNA markers, revealing significant genetic variation at the species level but low variation among populations.
- The findings suggested two main genetic clusters based on geographic regions, indicating that local environmental factors influence the genetic structure of G. sylvestre, which may help in future cultivation and conservation efforts.
