Polyphenolics, antioxidant characterization and DNA barcoding of Kala zeera [Bunium persicum  (Boiss.) Fedtsch] through multiple barcode analysis to unravel best barcode combination

CONCLUSION: Based on molecular barcoding, best barcode combination was identified that may discriminate the Kala zeera germplasm vis-a-vis can authenticate their purity. Moreover, the identified DNA barcodes will have significant role in studying the evolutionary biology of Bunium species and will be important for designing a strategy to conserve the selected Kala zeera germplasm lines. The identified genotypes with high phenolic content and antioxidant activity can further be utilized in Kala zeera breeding programmes.PMID:35729477 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-022-07682-w
