Assessment of Genetic Variations of Taxodium Trees in Egypt

Abstract

The current study was carried out at the Faculty of Agriculture, Saba Basha, Alexandria University, and the horticultural research station, Sabahia, Alexandria, Egypt. From 2018 to 2022 assessment of genetic variations of Taxodium trees in Egypt based on the morphological description and DNA barcoding. Four different localities were designated to survey the Bald cypress ( T. distichum ) samples. The results recorded that the tree length ranged from 21.22 m (Giza tree) to 11.89 m (El-Beheria tree), while the Alexandria tree was recorded 17.30 m forward by Qalyubia
