Abstract
Annona belongs to the family Annonaceae, which is mostly known for its edible fruits. Annona fruits are of the world's best tasting fruits due to their sweet, delicious, creamy flesh and fragrant flavor when fully ripe. Fruits contain proteins, fatty acids, fibres, carbohydrates, vitamin C, antioxidants and minerals such as calcium, phosphorous and potassium. Leaves and seeds are also potential source of secondary metabolites and antioxidants. A good amount of oil is present in seeds which can be useful for industrial purpose.
Looking at the importance of Annona species, the present study was conducted with the aim of assessment of genetic variability in different genotypes of Annona species by morphological parameters, estimation of various biochemical parameters from fruits and seeds of Annona species and to study the molecular polymorphism in different genotypes of Annona species through RAPD and SSR markers.
