The length genome C. was 154,390 bp while that O. 153,380 bp. lengths inverted repeats (IR) regions were 26,526 26,558 bp, those large single copy (LSC) 83,870 83,023 bp; small (SSC) 17,468 17,241 baccatus, respectively. Both consisted 113 genes: 79 protein-coding genes, 30...

The genera Tetraena Maxim. and Zygophyllum L. (Zygophyllaceae) present different morphological characters, viz. growth habit, leaf features, flower traits fruit shape, have a high diversity of species in Africa, Australia Asia. Six [T. alba (L.f.) Beier & Thulin, T. coccinea (L) decumbens (Delile) hamiensis (Schwein f.) propinqua (Decne.) Ghaz. Osborne simplex (L.) Thulin], one (Z. fabago L.) been identified Saudi Arabia, most which grow sandy soils saline habitats as shrubs herbs. One...

In this study, we present the complete chloroplast genome of Dipterygium glaucum an important medicinal plant in Saudi Arabia, order to evaluate evolutionary relationship family Cleomaceae. The cp is second be sequenced Cleomaceae family, it has a circular structure and length 158,576 bp with 35.74% GC content. divided into four regions: LSC 87,738 bp, SSC 18,420 pair inverted repeats 26,209 each. D. encodes 116 different genes, including 81protien coding 31tRNA genes rRNA genes....

Heliotropiaceae is a family of the order Boraginales and has over 450 species. The members have been widely reported to be used in traditional medicine Over time, classification remained uncertain moved from subfamily, or conversely.

The succulent shrubs Desmidorchis penicillata and D. retrospiciens , part of the taxonomically challenging genus are well‐known for their ecological resilience medicinal significance. This study sequences first complete chloroplast genomes these species, shedding light on genomic characteristics evolutionary relationships. circular (161 776 bp) (162 277 display a quadripartite structure typical Angiosperms. Gene content, order, GC content consistent, featuring 114 unique genes, including 80...

During 2013 and 2014, fresh material of Tetraena hamiensis (Schweinf.) Beier & Thulin was collected from four different localities in Saudi Arabia. Some morphological differences, especially leaf, flower parts, fruit characters, were observed among individuals this species within the same location. Principal coordinates analysis unweighted pair group method with arithmetic algorithm clustering test split off T. these varieties as three clusters; one comprises characters overlapping those...

In order to provide a basis for better understanding of phylogenetic relationships Saudi Arabian Tetraena Maxim. and Zygophyllum L., 44 specimens representing seven taxa, were reconstructed based on chloroplast DNA data rbcL trnL-F. The combined (rbcL trnL-F) contributed more phylogenetically informative characters than in individual regions. Phylogenetic analysis the regions both Maximum Parsimony Bayesian criteria showed that species monophyletic. fabag L. was nested one clade with Z....

Background: Comparative study of the complete chloroplast genomes some species in Subtribe Asclepiadeae was conducted to evaluate variations and similarities between resolve phylogenetic relationship within subtribe. P. tomentosa has been used for medicinal uses Saudi Arabia, Middle East, Africa Brazil. It is often cosmetics tanning industries, although it’s very well utilized as a traditional medicine many civilizations.Methods: The were compared using Mvista Bioinformatics tools inverted...

We studied the complete chloroplast genome of Gomphocarpus siniacus and Duvalia velutina from Asclepiadoideae subfamily; due to their medicinal importance distribution worldwide interest became high.
