Introduction:VitexnegundoL.is one of the most important medicinal plants because it contains a set of clinically important compounds. Objective:In the present study, the genetic diversity ofV. negundofrom five different geographical origins of Western Ghats was assessed through Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs). Methods: To assess genetic diversity we conducted sequencing of the genomes from five populations of V. negundo and compared the data to a reference genome assembly. Results:14 SNPs were discovered when compared the sequence of five different populations by direct partial sequencing of genes (trnL). UPGMA clustering indicated two main groups.Our genome-wide assessment of SNP variation in V. negundo revealed high levels of genetic variation. Conclusions:This approach determining population genetic structure using SNPs from genome-wide comparison constitute a framework for high-throughput analyses genetic diversity in plants, particularly in species with genetic diversity.
