RAPD markers reveal genetic diversity in Salix purpurea L.
The bark of purple osier willow (Salix purpurea L.) constitutes a particularly valuable raw material which is used for the production of natural aspirin. The content of salicylic glycosides in the bark is differential and depends on genotype, therefore continued selection is necessary to find high-yielding crop varieties of S. purpurea with a high salicylic glycoside content of the bark. The ...
