Abstract

Detection and Phylogenetic Analysis of Viruses Linked with Fig Mosaic Disease in Seventeen Fig Cultivars in Palestine

“…Fig landraces areexpected to represent a source of beneficial genes with a high capacity to tolerate living and nonliving pressures, resulting in excessive produce constancy, disease resistance, and reasonable produce level under low external agricultural input(Ali-Shtayeh et al, 2014;Zeven, 1998). However, information regarding the presence andincidence of viral infections in fig cultivars in Palestine is still scarce.…”

Evaluation of the Genetic Variability among a Wild Peganum Harmala L. Populations with RAPD-PCR

“…may facilitate more effective diversity analysis of several plants. RAPD-PCR analysis has been used to evaluate the levels of genetic variation among diverse wild cranberry clones [4], genetic diversity of climbing species of palms Sramah et al [5], genetic diversity of a medicinal and aromatic plant Teucrium polium Boulila et al [6] genetic variability among five caraway populations Laribi et al [7], in Draba dorneri vascular plant Catană et al [8], among cowpea genotypes Patil et al [9], genetic diversity and related relationships among 22 landrace of Ficus carica L. sativa AliShtayeh et al [10] and for Withania somnifera (L.) Sahu et al [11]. Variability within and among genus, species and families are based on the genetic makeup, the natural selection, human interfering and nature calamities.…”
