Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a major cereal crop, which cultivated under variable environmental conditions and abiotic stresses in marginal areas around the globe. In this study, we evaluated 150 Jordanian landraces obtained from ICARDA Gene Bank four local checks for yield components related-traits two locations across Jordan three growing seasons rainfed conditions. The study aims to identify superior barley genotypes dry conditions, understand genotype × environment (G E) interactions,...
Abstract Generation of novel genetic diversity for maximization heterosis in hybrid production is a significant goal winter oilseed rape breeding. Here, we demonstrate that doubled haploid (DH) using microspore cultivation can simultaneously introgress favourable alleles double‐low seed quality (low erucic acid and low‐glucosinolate content) into genetically diverse Brassica napus background. The DH lines were derived from cross between rapeseed variety semisynthetic B. line with high...
This study describes the use of regional association analyses to delineate a sequenced region Brassica napus chromosome with significant effect on antinutritive seed meal compounds in oilseed rape. A major quantitative trait locus (QTL) influencing colour, fibre content, and phenolic was mapped same position B. A9 biparental mapping populations from two different yellow-seeded × black-seeded crosses. Sequences markers spanning QTL identified synteny sequence contig corresponding rapa ....
Abstract Soil salinity is a serious environmental threat with varied effects on several aspects of growth and production plants. Recently, however, the utilization chitosan in agriculture has increased as it enhances resistance crop plants to different stresses factors such salinity. In this experiment, seed-priming alleviation stress was investigated common vetch ( Vicia sativa L.) using completely randomized design six replications. Chitosan pretreatment applied at three levels (2, 4, 8...

Identification of QTL for seed coat colour oil content in Brassica napus by association mapping using SSR markers. Can. Plant Sci. 95: 387–395. Association identifies quantitative trait loci (QTL) based on the strength linkage disequilibrium (LD) between markers functional polymorphisms across a set diverse germplasms. In this study, we used to detect genome-wide simple sequence repeat...
In light of the rapid and extreme changes in climate steady depletion natural resources, there is an urgent need to find innovative sustainable solutions these problems. Microorganisms such as microalgae can offer viable challenges. Proper investment organisms requires identification algal species that inhabit region. Therefore, this study aimed isolate molecularly characterize green freshwater at different locations governorates Irbid Ajloun northern region Jordan. Water samples collected...
Porcine gelatin has been used in many food products. To ensure the compliance of products with halal regulations and label description, reliable analytical methods are required. In this study, Porcine-specific short amplicon-size for conventional PCR assay was developed detection commercial candy marshmallow A pair porcine-specific primers defining a 74 bp region mitochondrial D-loop sequence were designed. One hundred three samples including seventy six from candies twenty seven purchased...
Twenty-eight mapped SSR markers were used to analyze genetic diversity and population structure of Jordanian barley landraces. The neighbour-joining (NJ) clustering admixture model-based analysis grouped the landraces cultivars according inflorescence type. High distance (1GSD=0.779) was observed between two-row six-row Polymorphic Information Content (PIC) value SSRs loci ranged from 0.297 0.899, with a mean 0.658. results this study demonstrate suitability data for in
The fundamental aim of this study was to investigate the growth responses selected Jordanian cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) genotypes salinity stress.Twenty-six landraces and two recent cultivars were subjected four levels (0, 50, 100 200 mM NaCl).The salt stress found influence majority germination ability such as % which ranged from about 80% 100% (One-way ANOVA; p ≤ 0.05).Moreover, statistically affected in correspondence exposure time relation genotypic composition studied...
A total of 60 isolates lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from Jordanian camel colostrum using biochemical and molecular methods. Two dominant species identified, they Lactobacillus salivarius Enterococcus faecium. The entire LAB tested for their acidity bile tolerance, antimicrobial activity, antibiotic sensitivity to test potential probiotic activity. All tolerant different pH concentrations (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) with survival rates (%). also salt (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 2, 3)...

To our knowledge, current study is first to investigate genetic basis Jordanian population. The aim occurrence frequency obesity-related individuals any possible relationship between SNP markers phenotypic characteristics studied individuals. Methods A total...
This study was conducted at Al-Balqa` Applied University research station to investigate the effect of different types mulches on ‘Newton’ tomato yields and fruit cracking incidence under greenhouse conditions. The experiment consisted seven treatments (black plastic, tuff gravel, clear compost, crushed stone, shredded wood, control); a randomized complete block design with three replicates used. Different mulch showed significant effects on early, medium, late, total yields/ha fruits....
Drought is one of the major environmental factors negatively affecting cultivated crop species. Thirty-one candidate genes for drought tolerance in barley were selected using a literature survey. SNP discovery was performed by aligning corresponding nucleotide sequences each gene and SNPs with base change from A/T to C/G or vice versa selected. Primer pairs designed flank SNPs. Using HRM analysis, all these markers showed polymorphism among 10 examined cultivars. The polymorphic information...
