Abstract
Nypa fruticans (Wurmb. Thunb.) or known as nipah is one of the earliest
and oldest angiosperms assignable to modern genus, dated back to Cretaceous period around 75 million years ago. Nipah is known to be one of
the most versatile mangrove plants in term of its usage. However, its genetic
diversity has been poorly documented. Hence, this study was carried out to
evaluate nipah genetic diversity in Malaysia using DNA analysis via
phylogenetic approach.
