Abstract
Capparis (Capparaceae) has been used as a medicinal plant since ancient time. Capparis species were divided into Old World and New World taxa as described by the sectional division of Capparis. However, plastid DNA sequence data of Indian Capparis species were not analyzed in previous phylogenetic studies. Here, we have added Indian Capparis data in previous phylogeny and analyzed the relationship of Indian Capparis with Old World and New World taxa. The plastid phylogeny presented here includes Capparis taxa from its major distribution areas, New World and African capparoids. The presented phylogeny is used for the determination of biogeographic history of Capparis and recently segregated genera. Phylogenetic analyses of the combined plastid data revealed that the Indian Capparis are more closely related to Old World taxa and have connections with African, Australian and Eastern Asian species. Sectional classification of Old World and Indian Capparis considered in this study is reflected from the presented plastid phylogeny. The ancestral area reconstruction using Bayesian Binary Markov Chain Monte Carlo method strongly supports for the Africa as the ancestral region for both Old World and New World Capparis. Molecular marker-based genetic diversity studies on Indian Capparis are scarce. This work also includes the genetic diversity study of Indian Capparis species. Utility and efficacy of ISSR markers to study inter- and intraspecies variation in Capparis is evident from the AMOVA results.
