Conservation and population genetic diversity of Curcuma wenyujin (Zingiberaceae), a multifunctional medicinal herb

W. H. Zheng, Zhuo, Y., Liang, L., Ding, W. Y., Liang, L. Y., and Wang, X. F., Conservation and population genetic diversity of Curcuma wenyujin (Zingiberaceae), a multifunctional medicinal herb, vol. 14, pp. 10422-10432, 2015.

Curcuma wenyujin is an important multifunctional medicinal herb in China. Currently, populations of C. wenyujin are decreasing, and wild individuals have almost disappeared from their natural habitats. Moreover, little is known regarding the molecular characteristics of this plant. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity and variation of five populations of C. wenyujin, using ran­dom amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers.
