Genetic resources available for medicinal
plants improvement are abundant within
plant species. Even though a few species
of medicinal plants occur naturally in
India, many cultivated medicinal plants
species do find their origin with in the
country especially India. Almost all the
cultivated and naturaly occurring
medicinal plants and which are classified
under different family and species, cross
pollinate with each other and produce
fertile offspring showing no signs of
sexual incompatibility characteristic of
medicinal plants species. This fact
suggests a close genetic or non genetic
relationship among the medicinal plants.
The present study involving 18 medicinal
plants with molecular characterization, of
RAPD, analysis for further supports this
view. RAPD analysis of 18 medicinal
plants using Primer OPD-13.
