Genetic diversity analysis of cultivated Korarima Aframomum corrorima (Braun) P.C.M. Jansen populations from southwestern Ethiopia using inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) marker

摘要

BackgroundKorarima (Aframomum corrorima) is a perennial and aromatic herb native and widely distributed in southwestern Ethiopia. It is known for its fine flavor as a spice in various Ethiopian traditional dishes. Few molecular studies have been performed on this species so far. In the present paper, the ISSR technique was employed to study the genetic diversity in populations of cultivated A. corrorima.
