Curcumin is found in Curcuma longa L. and is traditionally known to have effects on various types of diseases in humans. Previous reports have indicated that the curcumin content varies between the different lines of them. To clarify the differences in the amounts of curcumin between the lines, we investigated the outcomes of cultivation experiments with the hybridization or introgression between C. longa and other Curcuma species using the matK gene of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) and the external transcribed spacer (ETS) of nuclear DNA (nrDNA).
