| Abstract: | Lathyrus L. is an important genus contributing in human food, animal feed and fodder. The genetic variation is studied among and within six species sampled over a large geographical area: Lathyrus cicera, Lathyrus sativus, Lathyrus sylvestris, Lathyrus tuberosus, Lathyrus ochrus and Lathyrus aphaca. The phylogenetic relationship among these species was assessed using sequences of chloroplast DNA trnH-psbA (intergenic spacer). The highly polymorphic spacer' length was 330 bp. The phylogenetic analyses using Maximum Parsimony and Genetic Distances, agreed with the universal taxonomy of Kupicha. L. sativus and L. cicera could be considered as sister species, sharing a common ancestor. |
