“…In Brazil, mesquite is known as algaroba and is found from Northeast (Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte States) to South (Rio Grande do Sul State) (Morim, 2015). It plays a major role for the country's economy (Ribaski et al, 2009;Burnett, 2017) as nutritional additive for animals (Aguiar et al, 2019;Khobondo et al, 2019), raw material for the pharmaceutical industry (Sharifi-Rad et al, 2019), human feeding (Lima et al, 2020;De Melo Cavalcante et al, 2022), production of bioethanol (De Melo Alves & Leite Filho, 2020) and alcoholic beverages (De Carvalho et al, 2020), and coal mining industry (CIRILO et al, 2021), as well as making of boards, stakes, and fences in farms (Rodrigues et al, 2013). Despite its several uses; little is known about mesquite genetic diversity.…”

Since characterization and selection of molecular markers are crucial steps in genetic research for plant conservation and/or (pre) breeding, this study aimed to describe the amplification profile of Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers in Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC. so that the most suitable ones could be selected. To do so, the genomic DNA of 16 individuals collected at the Federal Institute - Campus Itapetinga, Bahia State, were extracted at the Applied Molecular Genetics Laboratory of the State University of Southwest Bahia, in Itapetinga-BA (Brazil). The amplification profile was obtained using 23 ISSR primers, visualized after electrophoresis in 2% agarose gels, and photo-documented under ultraviolet light; then, genotyping was performed. In total, amplification of 206 markers was observed, with an average of nine tags per primer, a polymorphic percentage equivalent to 90% of the markers generated; and mean polymorphic information content of 0.63. Expected and observed heterozygosity means were similar (0.28 and 0.29, respectively). Our findings confirm that ISSR primers are suitable for molecular-genetic studies of P. juliflora. Among the 23 analyzed primers, 13 can be prioritized (DiGA3’G, DiCA 3'RG, DiCA 3'YG, DiGA 3'C, DiGA 3'RC, DiGA 3'T, TriCAG 3'RC, TriTGT 3'YC, TriAAC 3'RC, TriAAG 3'RC, TriCGC 3'RC, TriGAC 3'RC, and TriGGA 3'RC) for genetic studies of P. juliflora.

This study was carried out to evaluate the best inclusion level and the effects of mesquite pod (Prosopis juli ora) meal on carcass characteristics and meat quality for lambs nished in pasture. Forty male, noncastrated, crossbred Santa Inês lambs, with an initial body weight (24.2 ± 3.1 kg), and approximately 120days old. The animals were kept in a total area of 4 ha, divided in 4 paddocks of 0.62 ha each (10 animals/paddocks), on pastures of Massai (Panicum maximum cv. massai) with drinkers and feeders during the nishing phase. Dietary treatments based on levels of corn ground replacement for mesquite pod meal included: CON -Without mesquite pod meal; MPM25 -250 g/kg of mesquite pod meal; MPM50 -500 g/kg of mesquite pod meal; and MPM75 -750 g/kg of mesquite pod meal. No treatment effects were detected (P> 0.05) for carcass measures, carcass characteristics, chemical composition of longissimus thoracis muscle, tissue composition, and lipid oxidation. Lamb meat color values, such as lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) were not affected (P> 0.05) by mesquite pod meal replacement on the diets, whereas for redness (a*), HUE, and crhoma were in uenced (P< 0.05). Palmitic acid had a quadratic effect, while oleic acid, eicosatrienoic acid, saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, and PUFA:SFA had a linear course (P< 0.05). In conclusion the mesquite pod meal can be used as an energy feed source up to 750 g/kg of dry matter in the diet, without changing the carcass characteristics and meat quality of lambs nished in pasture.
