Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Diversity in Suganda pala germplasm [Hemidesmus indicus (L) R. Br.], a common perennial herb (climber) belonging to the plant family Asclepiadaceae had been assessed in-situ. Ten accessions of Suganda pala collected from four districts (Anantapur, Chittoor, Cuddapah and Kurnool) formed the part of diversity assessment study. The germplasm accessions exhibited a good variability in morphological traits such as leaf shape, size, margin, tip, leaf lamina colour, midrib colour; stomatal frequency, leaf weight and biochemical parameters viz., total chlorophyll (7.1-35.4 mg/g), chlorophyll a (11.5-36.7 mg/g), chlorophyll b(8.0-40.1 mg/g) and total carotenoids (4.8-22.8 mg/g). The leaf shape varied from elliptic-oblong, ovate to linearlanceolate; leaf margin entire-slightly wavy; leaf tip acute-pointed; leaf midrib colour (green/pink). Leaf colour variations on dorsal and ventral sides were grouped using standard colour charts. DIVA-GIS grid map generated for various leaf traits indicated that highly diverse germplasm occurs in Chittoor district. Therapeutic classification index for suganda pala is highlighted.
