DbIndAlgae is a free on-line database of marine algae from India. It provides information about the geographical distribution, morphological characteristics and most importantly, sequence data of marine algae collected from different coasts. It is the only database which contains molecular data of the algal species from India. Identification of the species is based on both morphological as well as molecular information. The database also serves as an interface to the herbarium maintained at the Centre for Plant Sciences, Central University of Punjab, Bathinda. So far the database lists 45 marine algal species. Some algal species have been identified for the first time from India, but have already been reported from places other than India, whereas new species are those which have been identified by us for the first time as a part of this study and have never been reported elsewhere.Keywords

Ficus benghalensis Linnaeus (Moraceae) is the national tree of India and is well known for its pharmacolo-gical properties. The present study was aimed to determine the genetic diversity of F. benghalensis from the Indian subcontinent using sequence-based multi-locus phylogeography. A total of 20 geograph-ical isolates were collected from different regions, cov-ering major parts of its species range within the country. Sequence data from nuclear-encoded internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1), plastid-encoded trnL-F spacer region (trnL) and ribosomal intron re-gion (rps16) were generated. The trnL-based maxi-mum likelihood phylogram revealed the existence of two haplotypes, whereas ITS1 and rps16-based maxi-mum likelihood analysis did not reveal much variation for this species distributed in the Indian subcontinent. These results depict long-distance random gene flow across the subcontinent, and support the post-glacial population contraction events. To validate the impact of palaeo-historic climatic events on current geo-graphic and genetic distribution, species distribution modelling-coupled phylogeography is suggested.Keywords
