Molecular characterization of some elite genotypes of cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton) is one of the important spice crops cultivated for its valued dried ripe fruit (capsule), the cardamom of commerce. It is a native of the moist evergreen forests of the Western Ghats of South India. Cardamom is also grown in Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea, Tanzania and Guatemala. In India, cardamom is mainly cultivated in Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu at elevations ranging from 600 M to 1300 M as an undercrop in the evergreen rain forests of the Western Ghats. Characterization of fourteen elite genotypes of cardamom using molecular tools has been attempted presently so as to find out the genetic relationship between them since such tools are more precise and dependable.
