Abstract

The main objective of this work is to fingerprint some selected plant germplasm along the western Red Sea coast of Sinai. Selection is based on the relative economic importance of these plants on the medicinal and pharmaceutical levels. Molecular markers such as RAPD, ISSR and AFLP technologies were used in this work to detect genetic diversity of the selected medicinal plants. The study showed that taxonomical locations can be distinguished for each subspecies (with as low as 0 to 1% polymorphism using AMOVA analysis) according to its molecular fingerprint but it cannot be recognized as a different subspecies. Key words: Molecular markers, genetic diversity, RAPD, ISSR, AFLP, Sinai, medicinal plants.
