Genetic diversity among cultivated and wild Panax ginseng populations revealed by high-resolution microsatellite markers

ConclusionGinseng has a relatively high level of genetic diversity and cultivated and wild groups have similar levels of genetic diversity. Collectively, our data demonstrate that current breeding populations have abundant genetic diversity for breeding of elite ginseng cultivars.
