ThesisItem Open Access PARTIAL MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF WILD AND CULTIVATED POMEGRANATE (PUNICA GRANATUM L.)(2006) KUMAR, VINAY; KANWAR, KAMLESHThesisItem Open Access PARTIAL MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF WILD AND CULTIVATED POMEGRANATE Punica granatum L.(UHF,NAUNI, 2006) KUMAR, VINAY; Kanwar, KamleshThe present investigation on "Partial molecular characterization of wild and cultivated pomegranate (Punica granatum l.)" allows us to determine the phenotypic as well as genetic variability among pomegranate cultivars. Six pomegranate cultivars Daru (Wild pomegranate). Ganesh, G·137, Mridula, Musket and Kandharl Kabuli were taken for characterization and evaluation. Twelve morphological parameters were used for evaluation. Kandhari Kabuli was the best cultivars among six regarding fruit weight (g}, seeds/fruit, seeds weight (9) and more so seed taste. Four enzymes systems (PER, ACP, ALP and EST) were used for characterization. In RAPD study, 21 primers were used and yielded 198 scorable bands out of which 151 were polymorphic. Thirty unique bands were observed among 6 cultivars during the investigati\: The Jaccard's coefficient and UPGMA based analysis showed 0.62 to 0.83 similarities among these cultivars, also in cluster analysis Daru (Wild pomegranate) found to be far away from other cultivars. Lowest value of 0.62 was found between Ganesh and G-137, whereas maximum value of 0.83 was found between Kandhari Kabuli and Musket. This revealed that the origin of all cultivar from same parent but long ago.
