Abstract

The research includes a wide general Molecular analysis of 9 species all belonging to the genus Lotus L. grew freely in Iraq. The banding pattern has a lot of meaning when it comes to recognizing species relationships. There was also an attempt to use DNA markers in the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique to identify the nine Lotus taxa and find genetic variability among them. A commercial kit was used to extract total genomic DNA from dried and fresh leaves of the species investigated. The Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD-PCR) approach was used to do the molecular analysis, which included ten random markers.
