Assessment of genetic diversity within eucheumatoid cultivars in east Sabah, Malaysia

International audience ; Studies have shown that cultivars of the carrageenophytes Kappaphycus and Eucheuma are clones of a limited number of strains originally domesticated from wild populations. For the development and selection of new cultivars, it is important that a comprehensive record of available variants exists. This study was conducted to provide up-to-date analysis and compilation of the current state of cultivars as the last list of cultivars was compiled nearly a decade ago. The present study analyzed the cox 2–3 spacer and cox 1 (1356 bp) genetic diversity of cultivars collected... Mehr ...
