“…A previous study demonstrated that the diversity observed at the genetic level within six populations of C. asiatica with different leaf morphology was shown to be linked to the diversity of the asiaticoside content (Rakotondralambo et al, 2013 ). This could be attributed to genetic factors, regardless of the origin or environmental influences, as concluded in the previous studies (Randriamampionona et al, 2007 ; Rakotondralambo et al, 2013 ). The PCA analysis of TLC separated C. erecta and C. cordifolia samples via their chemical fingerprint.…”

Centella asiatica is one of the popular herbs used for inflammatory and neural conditions. Its differentiation from similar species is currently lacking. The aims of this study were to differentiate the three closely related Centella species using methods based on morphological characters, genetic biodiversity, phytochemical compositions and antioxidant activities. According to the morphological characteristics, the collected samples were identified as three species: C. asiatica, Centella cordifolia and Centella erecta and clustered into three groups based on their morphometric variability. Dendogram constructed on the basis of the intersimple sequence repeats (ISSR) analyses were consistent with the morphological grouping. Centella cordifolia had the highest triterpene glycosides, phenolics and antioxidant capacity, followed by C. asiatica, then C. erecta, therefore, was genetically and chemically closer to C. asiatica, while C. erecta was distinctively different from them. The results confirm the occurrence of the closely related three species of Centella in Australia, and the differentiation among them can be achieved via the combination of morphometric, molecular and phytochemical methods. This first comparative botanical study on Centella species provides a foundation for further systematic study and medicinal development of Centella.

“…The maximum number of alleles per locus was found to be 2. The polymorphism information content (PIC) which is the expression of allele diversity frequency among the varieties, ranged from 0.0000 to 0.1239, with an average of 0.0195 which is very low when compared to the previous reports (Rodier-Goud et al, 2013). Out of the 10 primers, only 2 primers were polymorphic which indicates low level of genetic variation between the samples.…”

“…Genetic diversity of a wide variety of plants has been estimated using SSR markers (Garcia et al, 2004;Acquadro et al, 2005;Stafne et al, 2005;Hasan et al, 2006;Sun et al, 2008;Cavagnaro et al, 2011;Sajib et al, 2012;Matin et al, 2012;Wangari et al, 2013;Rodier-Goud et al, 2013;Piya et al, 2014;Tan et al, 2014;Olango et al, 2015). However studies in C. asiatica using SSR marker are few.…”

Genetic diversity represents the heritable variation within and between populations of organisms. A better understanding of genetic diversity and its distribution is essential for its conservation and use. In this study the genetic diversity analysis was performed in 30 accessions of Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. using 10 SSR markers. C. asiatica is a tropical medicinal plant from Apiaceae family native to Southeast Asian countries. It is among the top herbs in the category of anti-aging and CNS drugs used worldwide. The whole plant and aerial parts are used widely in traditional and alternative medicines due to its ample pharmacological activities. The molecular screening through microsatellite markers showed low polymorphism (0.019) between the samples analyzed. Further studies, including the effect of environmental factors, genetic composition or possibility of inbreeding, are required to analyze the probable reason for the low variability exists in the species.Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol. Vol 6(2): 103-109

“…Indian accession was included in this study showed more than two alleles. The SSR analysis confirmed the divergence of leaf morphology of Malagasy C. asiatica within a sample collected from a single site due to active sexual reproduction (Rakotondralambo et al, 2013). Another research group analyzed seventeen genotypes of C. asiatica from India studied using 20 genomic SSR showed a low level of genetic diversity with an average similarity coefficient (0.85) among them.…”

In recent years, demand for medicinal plants increased due to the rise in attraction towards herbal products which are safer compared to modern drugs. Centella asiatica (L.) Urb is known as an important medicinal plant in herbal medicinal systems. It also used as an active ingredient for many products in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry. So far, review on this plant concerns mainly on medicinal, cosmetology and photochemical works reported. This review presents the genetic studies conducted in this herb along with a mention on conservation. Since documenting and studying genetic variation and its composition has an important connection for the understanding of evolution and improving the conservation of this species.
