The study analyzes genetic variations in the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region across 19 accessions, indicating higher genetic diversity in Himalayan accessions compared to others.
Results suggest that Himalayan accessions are more like different forms of the same species rather than varied taxa.
Evolutionary relationships established through this research indicate a paraphyletic evolution in the family Chenopodiaceae and a younger age for Himalayan chenopods than previously reported.
belongs to the complex genus of the family Amaranthaceae. It is an economically and medicinally important plant. We report here the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of from northeastern India.
