acopa monnieri
(L.) Penn. commonly known as the
neera-brahmi belongs to the family
Scrophulariaceae
is a small prostrate herb that grows wild in marshy and
damp places near water logs, spreading throughout India.
Over exploitation of this herbal plant species and the
necessity of biodiversity conservation of this endangered
plant species have attracted global attention. Accordingly,
among the seven highly endangered identified plant species
that need immediate attention,
B.monnieri
plants have a
unique position as has been highlighted by NMPB, India and
Technology Information Forecasting and Assessment Council
(TIFAC), DST, Government of India
(http://www.nmpb.nic.in/ prioritisemedicinalplants.htm). In this way biotechnologists
also, took much interest in analyzing and monitoring the
systemic status of this valuable plant species. Identification
of plant varieties/genotypes using modern molecular
markers as PCR/RFLP profile have always been sought as
reliable, inexpensive, easily obtainable and versatile set of
molecular tools as repeatable DNA amplification sequence
being relied upon in describing the accurate systematic status
of any plant or animal species. The present study envisages
tracing the genetic variations using their conserved genome
like mitogenome and other different long and short primer
polymorphic sequences, thereby intending to explore the
population structure of
Bacopa monnieri
(L.) in India.
