Abstract

Seeds of Grewia optiva were collected from four population of Himachal Pradesh. Seeds collected were sown in nursery. The leaves of the seedlings produced were analysed for DNA, RNA and amino acids for variation studies among four population. It was observed that maximum DNA content (72.02 mg/g) and RNA (211.2 mg/g) were present in leaves obtained from progeny of Kandaghat population whereas, amino acids content was highest (33.08 mg/g) in leaves obtained from progeny of Palampur population.
