As part of an International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups (ICBG) program to study Jordan's biodiversity, the relative levels antioxidant activity and total phenolic content aqueous methanolic extracts a 95 plant species, all Jordanian origin those collected at random, have been measured. The investigated species ranged from 4.4 78.3 mg 2.1 52.8 gallic acid equivalents g(-1) dry weight, respectively, while capacity 20.0 916.7 15.1 915.6 micromol Trolox respectively. Based on this...
Abstract Purpose of Review Recognizing that in the context global change, tree genetic diversity represents a crucial resource for future forest adaptation, we review and highlight major genetics research achievements past decades biodiversity-rich countries Mediterranean region. For this, conducted bibliometric analysis scientific literature spanning thirty years (1991–2020). Putting together representative regionwide expertise our co-authorship, propose perspectives next decade. Recent...
Ensuring global food security in the face of climate change is critical to human survival. With a predicted population 9.6 billion 2050 and demand for supplies expected increase by 60% globally, but with parallel potential reduction crop production wheat 6.0%, rice 3.2%, maize 7.4%, soybean 3.1% end century, maintaining future will be challenge. One solution new climate-smart varieties created using breadth diversity inherent wild relatives (CWRs). Yet CWRs are threatened, 16–35% regarded as...
Abstract Fruit and seed morphology interact with embryo physiology environmental conditions to control germination timing. This interaction plays a pivotal role in ecosystems narrow windows for seedling establishment, such as the Mediterranean mountains. In this study, we investigated responses of secondary capitula (disseminules) Gundelia tournefortii from East mountain populations. When incubated at 15 °C, intact did not reach 20% final germination, or without addition substrate GA 3 (250...
Background/aim Olive tree (Olea europaea), Artemisia herba-alba, Rosmarinus officinalis, and Teucrium polium are among the medicinal plants grown in Jordan used folk medicine to reduce complication of diabetes. This study aimed evaluate antioxidant activity inhibitory phenolics porcine pancreas α-amylase, vitro, these plants. Materials methods The plant materials A. O. europaea, R. T. were purchased from local market Amman. aqueous extracts aerial parts investigated for total flavonoidal...
In the present study, first report of Mesembryanthemum (Opophytum ) forsskalii Hochst. ex Boiss Al-Samh has been documented in southern desert Jordan, particularly (Al-Jafer). M. was widely planted and well-known local community as Al-Samh. The chemical composition sameh seeds collected from south Jordan have studied. Proximate analysis showed a 23.2% protein, 11.5% moisture, 4.4% fat, 6.6% ash, 9.1% crude fiber, total carbohydrates. ADF NDF percent were 19.2 32.5, respectively. flour...
