Abstract
Recent studies have shown a high degree of variability in quantity and comp osition of essential oils among different clones of Salvia fruticosa found in the island of Crete. Forty-eight clones representing three different pop ulations were analysed for their essential oils and for their genetic profi les using RAPD markers. The current study aims to assess the level of genet ic diversity of Salvia fruticosa in Crete and its relation to the essential oil profiles. (C) 1999 Elevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
