chloroplast trnK intron, matK and rbcL gene of an Indian plant identified as Nymphaea alba
var. rubra contradict its identity. Additional signals depicted in chromatograms of the ITS
region and the exact match of the maternally inherited chloroplast DNA sequences suggest
that the Indian material is a hybrid of N. alba and N. odorata. Molecular cloning techniques
resulted in the isolation of ITS alleles from the putative hybrid with DNA sequences not …
