Heavy metals are natural constituents of the environment, but indiscriminate use for human purposes has altered their biochemical and molecular genetic balance. Prolonged exposure and higher accumulation of such heavy metals can have deleterious health effects on human life. Impact of heavy metals pollution may be effect on plant in the DNA molecular genetics level. In the present investigation we focus to evaluate the pollution of heavy metals among three plant species from two sites of polluted and non polluted regions based on analysis of molecular genetics level of ISSR, AFLP. Five out of the 10 ISSR primers were HB9, HB10, HB11, HB12 and HB14 which were succeed to amplify 172 reproducible and polymorphic bands on the other hand AFLP analysis also was used depend on pairs of primers EcoR I-ACA and MseI-CTC which provided a total of 116 bands ranging from 1550 to 154 bp. Molecular genetics ISSR and AFLP markers appeared more significant differences between polluted and non polluted plants which will provide a new insight for better understanding of the molecular basis of nutritional stress responses of wild medicinal plants to pollution which reflect the genetic defense action and reaction against genetically through appearance some bands product on the transcription and translation level.
Rangeland plant community and species composition are known to be related to specific soil properties. The current study investigated the ecological influence (soil characteristics) on the selection and distribution of ecological-related genotypes of dominant xerophyte species in WadiSudr of Egypt. AFLP analysis reflected the genetic profile of the samples species from two altitudinal ranges (up and midstream) and was compared statistically with the differences of their inhabiting soil characteristics on two depth levels (
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
