The study aimed to explore genetic differences among various populations of Pogostemon cablin and identify their distinct DNA fingerprints.
Researchers analyzed five plant populations using RAPD markers, finding 67 out of 84 DNA bands to be polymorphic, indicating significant genetic variation within the species.
The study concluded that RAPD techniques can effectively assess genetic diversity and help classify the different populations of P. cablin, offering a new approach for identifying genetic resources.
