Primer
OPE 18 (5′-GGACTGCAGA-3′) produced a band of ~380 bp in three
market samples (sample II, sample III and sample IV). Primer OPE 11
(5′-GAGTCTCAGG-3′) produced adulterant specific bands of ~1400 bp
in market sample II, sample IV and sample VI. The putative RAPD
amplicons fromOPA 01 (~600 bp) (Fig. 1) and OPE 18 (~380 bp) (Fig. 2)
named as ‘Cur 01’ and ‘Cur 02’, respectively were selected for
C. zedoaria/C. malabarica specific SCAR marker development, considering
their high degree of resolution.
