Introduction
The genus Cymbopogon possesses a programmes as can be used at early stages of
large number of odoriferous species of the plant development and is independent of the
grass family (Poaceae), and is characterized growth conditions (Soller and Beckmann,
by plants bearing aromatic essential oils in 1983). However, molecular markers do have
all parts. These oils are widely used in certain problems like reproducibility across
cosmetics, soap, perfumery and beverage laboratories. Another limitation of RAPD
industries. Many of them have considerable markers is their dominant nature. These
pharmaceuticals values and some also bears peculiarities of RAPDs impede direct
insect repellant properties as well (Mathur estimations of allele frequency and can bias
et al., 1988). Cymbopogons are highly calculations of population differentiation
