Abstract
The present study entitled “Spatio-temporal variations and DNA fingerprinting in elite genotypes of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt.)” was carried out at the
Department of Plantation Spices, Medicinal and Aromatic crops, College of Agriculture, Vellanikkara, Thrissur with three objectives: (a) to assess the spatial and
temporal variations on performance of a set of elite nutmeg genotypes in terms of growth, flowering, yield as well as quality and their response to weather parameters,
with a view to identify genotype-environment interactions (b) DNA fingerprinting of the select elite nutmeg genotypes, (c) to assess the performance of nutmeg trees
budded on wild (Myristica beddomei King) as well as self-rootstock (Myristica fragrans Houtt.).
