Title: GENETIC VARIABILITY AMONG AND WITHIN WILD Teucrium polium L. POPULATIONS AT WADI SHUEIB AREA IN JORDAN

Ten primers shown polymorphic bands were used for examining the genetic variability. A total of 1331 bands were obtained, 230 of them were polymorphic. Similarity coefficient values among the studied accessions varied from 0.00 to 0.48. High similarity values were obtained between two samples collected from middle area of Wadishueib. No similarity (value = 0.000) was detected between samples collected from West and middle area. RAPD analysis confirmed the presence of genetic diversity through tested Teucrium polium populations. The cluster analysis generated three groups. Genetic diversity among population was found. The information obtained through genetic diversity analysis of wild populations is necessary for conservation and exploitation of these valuable genetic resources in the future.Read More
