Abstract
Nutmeg (Myristica fragans Houtt.) is an herb, which is widely grown in tropical rain forests, especially in the eastern and the southern parts of Thailand. Almost every part of nutmeg could be utilized not only in the household as a culinary spice, flavoring agent but medical benefits as well. However, the study of nutmeg genetic information has been insufficient. Therefore, the nutmeg samples were used to investigate the nucleotide sequence of the rbcL gene in this research. The results revealed that the 932 bp of the amplified rbcL gene showed similarity with the dicotyledons in the nutmeg family (Myristicaceae). The nucleotide sequences showed the highest identity with Knema sp. (Accession number AB586432.1 and AB586431.1) and Myristica fragrans (Accession number AY298839.1). It could be inferred from this study that the locus of rbcL gene can be used for amplification and plant genetic relationships study.
