Abstract

Tephrosia calophylla is a perennial under-shrub with a tuberous root and is known for its various therapeutic properties. Genetic diversity was analysed using RAPD primers among 10 accessions collected from the population of Talakona, Andhra Pradesh, India. Twenty random primers ,each with 10 bases generated a total of 47 polymorphic bands  out of 70 total bands ,that showed 67.6%  polymorphism . Genetic distance  between each accession was calculated  and dendrogram was constructed on the basis of the similarity matrix data by unweighed pair group method with average (UPGMA) cluster analysis. The analysis with RAPD markers reflected high level of diversity within the population in this species.
