Abstract

For the study of Biodiversity characterization and Biochemical analysis, the natural herb was transplanted during 2003-04 and 2004-05 at Botanical Garden, R.B.S. College, Agra. For the study of species diversity at four natural sites of Agra district, four formulae were used to study the maximum and minimum diversity of species at its natural sites. Shannon Wienner's Index, Menhinick's Index, Margalef's Index value at four different sites were given in table -1. This values were determined the biodiversity variation at natural sites in Chenopodium album L. The values of Moisture contents (%), Oil content (%) and Protein concentration (μĝ/ml) in Chenopodium album L. were also determined the variation at biochemical level Table:2. With the help of SDS-PAGE, in four samples of seeds of Chenopodium album L. from four natural sites ( Bichpuri site -Lane 1, Kailash site -Lane 2, Kheria site - Lane 3, Chhalesar site - Lane 4) the total no. of protein bands showed diversity in Chenopodium plant. Table: 3. Shannon-Wiener's Index (1949), Menhinick's Index (1964), Margalei's Index (1968) and Similarity Index (S) were applied to determine the distribution patterns and concentrations of wild species to pinpoint the diversity built-up and variation in the gene pool and identifying sites for in-situ conservation. The present work determined the status of diversity of experimental herb at particular four sites the need to conserved this diversity for current and future use.
