Endemic Lilium Mackliniae Sealy (liliaceae): A
Recollection And First Time Dna Barcode Report
From Native Manipur, After Planting In Pots Outside Endemic Habitat
Weekly Science, (September 2013)Abstract
Lilium mackliniae Sealy (Liliaceae), endemic to Siroi Hills, Ukhrul, Manipur is collected and has been enumerated with DNA sequence of taxonomic marker chloroplast DNA segments (ribulose-1-5-bis phosphatecarboxylase/rbcL and maturaseK/matK), and nuclear ribosomal DNA segment (Internal transcribe spacer/ITS) for identification and sequence conservation. Chloroplast rbcL gene has been found to be more reliable for L. mackliniae identification and sequence has been reported to NCBI. This is the first time report from the Manipur and India. The adaptability of the plant outside natural habita has also been enumerated here.
