Abstract

Micropropagated and conventionally propagated plantlets of same genotype of elephant garlic were transferred to the similar field condition and growth stage. A comparative study was conducted using morphological parameters as well as genetic assessments using ISSR markers. The in vitro generated elephant garlic plants exhibited significantly vigourous morphological growth when compared to plants propagated through planting of cloves. Genetic appraisal through ISSR showed no polymorphism in banding pattern and thus it was revealed that, there was no significant variation between micropropagated and conventional propagated plants at molecular level.
