Abstract

Pongamia pinnata, a legume tree, has many traditional uses and is a potential biodiesel plant.
Despite its importance and the availability of appropriate molecular genetic tools, the full
potential of Pongamia is yet to be realized. The objective of this study was to assess
genetic diversity among 10 systematically characterized candidate plus trees (CPTs) of
P. pinnata from North Guwahati.
