Genetic relationships among wild and cultivated accessions of curry leaf plant (Murraya koenigii (L.) Spreng.), as revealed by DNA fingerprinting methods.

abstract：:Yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) cloning systems enable the cloning of DNA stretches of 50 to well over 2000 kb. This makes it possible to study large intact regions of DNA in detail, by restriction mapping the YAC to produce a physical map and by examining the YAC for coding sequences or genes. YACs are important fo...
