Although the effect of folic acid (FA) and its derivatives (folates) have been extensively studied in humans animals, their effects are still unclear most plant species, specifically under various abiotic stress conditions. Here, impact FA as a foliar application at 0, 0.1, 0.2 mM was on snap bean seedlings grown non-saline salinity (50 NaCl) The results indicated that stress, FA-treated plants revealed significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase growth parameters (fresh dry weight shoot root). A...

The genetic diversity and the relationships among sesame cultivars were investigated using physiological cyto/molecular analysis. To our information, no studies have yet been conducted on evaluation of genotypes based analysis in Saudi Arabia. This study showed that genotype Bah-312 had highest values from biochemical traits (plant height, harvest index, total plant dry matter, seed yield, oil content, fatty acids content). Using 20 ISSR 25 SCoT primers, studied amplified 233 275 alleles,...

DNA-based RAPD (Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA) markers have been used extensively to study genetic diversity and relationships in a number fruit crops. In this study, 10 (7 commercial mango cultivars 3 accessions) genotypes traditionally grown Suez Canal Sinai region Egypt, were selected assess relatedness. Total genomic DNA was extracted subjected analysis using 30 arbitrary 10-mer primers. Of these, eleven primers which gave 92 clear bright fragments. A total 72 polymorphic bands...

Cordia monoica is a member of the Boraginaceae family. This plant widely distributed in tropical regions and has great deal medical value as well economic importance. In current study, complete chloroplast (cp) genome C. was sequenced, assembled, annotated, reported. circular had size 148,711 bp, with quadripartite structure alternating between pair repeated inverted (26,897–26,901 bp) single copy region (77,893 bp). Among 134 genes encoded by cp genome, there were 89 protein-coding genes,...

Commiphora gileadensis (L.) C. Chr is a perennial plant existing mainly in the southern and western mountains of Arabian Peninsula. In Makkah province, remaining populations are threatened by many factors such as overcutting, overgrazing, urban developments. These dangers expected to be aggravated progression aridification arising from climate change. To overcome decline this valuable species, timely evaluation population's genetic variables structure vital for conservation populations....

COTONEASTER orbicularis Schltdl, native to Egypt and the eastern part of Arab peninsula, is an endangered species surviving individuals are dispersed in mountains South Sinai, Egypt. Several threats, including habitat aridification impact human interference have caused a noticeable reduction population size number. Analyzing genetic diversity mating system C. crucial for its conservation management. In this study, six polymorphic microsatellite markers, formerly developed as species-specific...

Salvadora persica L. is a medicinal plant distributed in desert and subtropical regions. In Rabigh, the few persisting populations of this are exposed to overcutting, overgrazing and, recently, human habitation. The conservation S. requires an assessment their genetic diversity differentiation. We applied 40 simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers, with which 22 polymorphic loci were identified. PIC values varied between 0.858 0.967. 240 accessions sampled from four sites Rabigh: Wadi EL...

Introduction: The Capsicum annuum nuclear factor Y subunit B (CaNFYB) gene family plays a significant role in diverse biological processes, including plant responses to abiotic stressors such as salinity. Methods: In this study, we provide comprehensive analysis of the CaNFYB pepper, encompassing their identification, structural details, evolutionary relationships, regulatory elements promoter regions, and expression profiles under salinity stress. Results discussion: A total 19 genes were...

• Premise of the study: We developed microsatellite markers for endangered plant Primula boveana , Sinai primrose, and assessed cross‐transferability these to six related taxa. Methods Results: DNA sequences containing microsatellites were isolated from a microsatellite‐enriched library. obtained successful amplification 13 primer pairs, seven which polymorphic in P. . Eleven primers successfully cross‐amplified Conclusions: The reported herein will be useful characterize genetic diversity...

Senna italica is a perennial plant distributed in desert and subtropical regions of the world. In Rabigh Province, western Saudi Arabia, few persisting populations this species are exposed to many threats, including overcutting and, recently, human habitation. These threats predicted be exacerbated with advancement aridification caused by climate change. The conservation revival diminished S. requires an assessment their genetic diversity differentiation. To accomplish objective, we applied...

Rhanterium epapposum Oliv. is a perennial medicinal shrub growing mainly in desert habitats the Arabian Peninsula. In western Saudi Arabia, remaining few populations of this species are exposed to many threats, including overcutting, overgrazing, and recently, increasing human activities. These threats predicted be exacerbated by advancement aridification caused climate change. The conservation recovering diminished R. necessitate measurement their genetic diversity differentiation. To...

Hyphaene thebaica is a perennial plant distributed in desert and subtropical regions of the world. In Rabigh Province, western Saudi Arabia, few persisting populations this species are exposed to many threats, including overcutting and, recently, human habitation. These threats predicted be exacerbated with advancement aridification caused by climate change. The conservation revival diminished H. requires an assessment their genetic diversity differentiation. To accomplish objective, we...

Juncus acutus is one of main wetland plants, valuable in remediation environment from heavy metals. Determination genetic diversity its natural populations important for species conservation and ecological restoration. The present study evaluated the four J. growing Manzala lake coast inland swamps Ismailia Sinai by using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. Fifteen primers generated a total 217 RAPD bands (loci) which 156 (71.9%) were across all individuals populations. At...
