“…In other studies, these AFLP markers have also been identi ed as essential for economic traits [40,41]. [42] interestingly demonstrated that Phoneix dactylifera identi ed speci c AFLP loci linked to genes for stress resistance and sugar metabolism. In addition, the identi ed speci c markers for Indian cultivars can also provide an idea about DNA sequences involved in the specie environment adaptation.…”

Background The date palm breeding programs need to discover useful genetic fingerprints to characterize cultivars and assess their genetic diversity. This study assessed the genetic diversity among thirty-nine date palm cultivars from Tunisia and India using six AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism) markers. Results A total of 360 loci were amplified, with 127 loci polymorphic (34.35%). The Jaccard's similarity coefficient ranged from 0.161 to 0.931, with the mean genetic distances of 0.568. AFLP's average marker index value was 7.28, with a resolving power of 10.91. The dendrogram showed a clear separation between Tunisian and Indian cultivars. Furthermore, the heat map analysis allowed the identification of 10 bands specific to the Indian accessions, which were not detected in Tunisian genotypes. Conclusions These loci could be linked to genes involved in the adaptation of the specie in Indian lands. The current finding can be used in the future breeding program by helping to select accessions adaptable to the specific environment.

“…We noticed a distinct peak between 0.2 and 0.3 of the K S distribution in the duplicated regions of ElChr for both species (figure 3 a,b ). Peaks in the K S distribution histograms often suggest the presence of a LSD event [82]. This finding suggests the occurrence of LSD events in the ElChr of both species, and these LSD events may have contributed to the elongation of the large chromosome in Y. persimilis and T. qinae .…”

Collembola is a highly diverse and abundant group of soil arthropods with chromosome numbers ranging from 5 to 11. Previous karyotype studies indicated that the Tomoceridae family possesses an exceptionally long chromosome. To better understand chromosome size evolution in Collembola, we obtained a chromosome-level genome of Yoshiicerus persimilis with a size of 334.44 Mb and BUSCO completeness of 97.0% ( n = 1013). Both genomes of Y. persimilis and Tomocerus qinae (recently published) have an exceptionally large chromosome (ElChr greater than 100 Mb), accounting for nearly one-third of the genome. Comparative genomic analyses suggest that chromosomal elongation occurred independently in the two species approximately 10 million years ago, rather than in the ancestor of the Tomoceridae family. The ElChr elongation was caused by large tandem and segmental duplications, as well as transposon proliferation, with genes in these regions experiencing weaker purifying selection (higher d N /d S ) than conserved regions. Moreover, inter-genomic synteny analyses indicated that chromosomal fission/fusion events played a crucial role in the evolution of chromosome numbers (ranging from 5 to 7) within Entomobryomorpha. This study provides a valuable resource for investigating the chromosome evolution of Collembola.

“…In recent years, many researchers have studied the effects of date consumption on human health [5]. Moreover, several of these studies have also demonstrated the important effect of date polyphenols in the prevention of neurological diseases, cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular, respiratory, and anti-inflammatory disorders [6][7][8][9].…”

The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) on the extraction of phytochemicals from eight Algerian date fruit cultivars (Phoenix dactylifera L.). In this study, lactic acid/sucrose-based NADESs were used as an alternative to conventional chemical solvents using the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method. The obtained extracts were assessed for the determination of bioactive compound contents, phenolic composition, antioxidant activity, and enzyme inhibitory potential. The results showed a considerable variation in phytochemical compositions and related activities between cultivars, where the greatest contents of total phenolics (1288.7 mg GAE/100 g), total flavonoids (53.8 mg QE/100 g), proanthocyanidins (179.5 mg CE/g), and total triterpenoids (12.88 mg OAE/100 g) were detected in the fruits of the Ourous cultivar. The same cultivar displayed the highest antioxidant capacity against DPPH• free radical (595 mg AAE/100 g), ABTS•+ cation radical (839 mg TE/100 g), and ferric reducing antioxidant potential (704 mg AAE/100 g). All extracts manifested moderate antioxidant activities tested by phosphomolybdenum, NO•, and linoleic acid lipid peroxidation assays. These extracts also exhibited interesting levels of in vitro enzyme inhibition; the Ourous cultivar gave the best inhibitory activity against α-amylase and acetylcholinesterase with 45 and 37%, respectively. HPLC-DAD-MS detected a total of five compounds, with phenolic acids and flavonoids being the main phenolics identified in the extract. The phenolic composition exhibited significant variability among cultivars. Notably, the highest amounts were revealed in the Tazizaout cultivar, with the predominance of gallic acid. The results confirmed that the combination of UAE and NADESs provides a novel and important alternative to chemical solvents for sustainable and environmentally friendly extraction and can represent a good alternative in food and pharmaceutical industry applications.
