Abstract

Traditionally, phenotypic characters or protein profiling were used to
establish the genetic relationships or for identification purpose of species. In
recent times, DNA profiling is done using various molecular techniques.
Analysis of micro-morphological characters can be used as preliminary tool
as compared to phenotypic characters. Present study is an approach to find
out the intra-generic and intra-specific relationship based on micromorphological and RAPD analysis in Dendrocalamus spp. For micromorphological analysis, observations on trichomes were recorded on both
the surfaces of leaves. Total five genotypes, Dendrocalamus asper (mother
and micropropagated plant) and D. strictus (seed raised three cultivars from
various locations) were included in the study. Both the samples of D. asper
showed close similarity on the basis of presence and size of trichomes
(371.07 - 1019.17 μm) on the lower surface (abaxial) and being present in the
same subcluster for all the seven primers tested out of total nine. However,
one primer (B17899) gave no amplification whereas, OPB4 divided the
genotypes in to three clusters-cluster I (sample 2), cluster II (sample 1) and
cluster III (sample 3, 4 and 5). Out of three samples of D. strictus, one sample
showed characteristically very large trichomes (1189.3 - 2166.61 μm) and was
in different cluster by the primers OPE1, OPD1, OPA12 and A17898.
