Abstract
The genome size varies across all species in plants, and their evolutionary dynamics have interested plant breeders. The study of genome in wild crop relative is crucial as it represents a practical gene pool which breeders could use. The genus Cymbopogon is one of the economically significant aromatic plant yielding essential oil and cultivated extensively. The wild Cymbopogon species were collected from different locations in Karnataka state, India. The genome size's characterisation was done using Flow cytometry technique using both chicken red blood cells and internal Standard. This study aims to provide vital information about Genome size as this could be used for breeding and conservation purposes.
