Abstract
Anisomeles malabarica also known as Indian Malabar catamint is a medicinal plant classified under the Lamiaceae family, is found in the southern tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. In the present study comparison of identification efficiency of rbcl and mat K markers was done using BOLD and BLAST data bases. The sequences identified from BLAST and BOLD databases were different from each other. The sequence identified from BLAST using matk and rbcl are same which are as follows, Anisomeles indica - 99.6%, Microtoena urticifolia - 97.99%, Microtoen arobusta - 97.99%, Micro toenadelavayi - 97.99% and Colebrookia oppositifolia - 97.35%. Similarly, the sequence identified from BOLD using matk and rbcl are same which are as follows, Anisomeles indica - 99.6%, Anisomeles malabarica - 98.38%, Rostrinuculas inensis - 97.08%, Anisomeles indica - 99.3 % and Cymaria acuminata - 96.82 %.
