Genetic diversity and population structure of the antimalarial plant Cryptolepis sanguinolenta in Ghana

Abstract: Cryptolepis sanguinolenta is an important medicinal plant used in the treatment of malaria in Ghana. Overharvesting, destruction of entire plant populations and poor seed viability have resulted in a substantial decrease in wild populations thereby threatening its long-term potential and survivability. In this study, fifteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were used to evaluate the genetic diversity and population structure of 179 C. sanguinolenta individuals among eight subpopulations in Ghana. The subpopulat… Show more

“…Seeds of C. sanguinolenta accessions were obtained from plants previously collected from the wild and established in the Sinna Garden of the Department of Crop Science, University of Ghana under field conditions [ 30 ]. Seedlings were raised in nursery bags of dimension (6ʺ × 4ʺ) filled with sandy loam soil.…”
