Molecular Characterization and Population Genetic Structure of <i>Fagopyrum</i> Species Cultivated in Himalayan Regions

<i>Fagopyrum</i> spp. (buckwheat) is a dicotyledonous pseudocereal crop mainly cultivated in the north-western Himalayan regions for its highly nutritional, antioxidant and therapeutic values. In the present investigation, molecular characterization was performed by using ISSR (inter sim...
