In this study a total of 36 safflower genotypes were assessed for various traits, with a focus on the morphological, phenotypic, protein percent, oil percent and oil fatty acids profile. Analysis of variance and traits relationship analysis such as Pearson correlation analysis, path analysis and GT-biplot were conducted in this study. Significant diversity in the studied traits displayed notable variations, thus indicating potential for targeted improvement in safflower breeding programs. The genotypes exhibited adaptability to different environmental conditions, with pronounced variations in phenological traits under moderate-cold and warm-dry conditions. The correlation analysis revealed seed yield, as a crucial trait was affected by plant height, prickliness intensity, inflorescence diameter, and flower color. Path analysis exhibited that plant height, prickliness intensity, and days to end flowering exerted the most substantial direct positive effects on oil percent. This analysis also indicated the direct negative effects of Oleic acid and Linoleic acid. GT-biplot represented the smallest angle among Oleic acid, Palmitic acid, Stearic acid, Linolenic acid, and prickliness, signifying the highest correlation of this trait. The diverse genotypes analyzed in this study provides a valuable resource for selecting genotypes with desirable traits, including oil profile and adaptability.

This study aimed to investigate, the comparative foliar epidermal anatomy and pollen features of Plantaginaceae through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy (LM) to evaluate its taxonomic significance. Pollen characteristics were measured from each specimen under LM. Details of the exine sculpture were also analyzed under SEM. Generally, the pollen grains are small to medium-sized, radially symmetrical, circular amb with the prolate shape of pollen grains in equatorial axis, tricolpate and pantoporate. The exine sculpture is reticulate, micro-reticulate, scabrate, verrucate, striate and rugulate. The genus <i>Plantago</i> shows diverse pollen morphology, with variations in shape, size, aperture type, and exine ornamentation across the species. Likewise, the genus <i>Veronica</i> has generally trizonocolpate pollen grains, with rare differences in aperture type and exine ornamentation. Foliar epidermal characters were observed using a light microscope and found variations in epidermal cell shape, pattern of anticlinal wall, type and shape of stomata, and types of trichomes. In addition, some quantitative characters were also studied and data were statistically analyzed such as epidermal cell size, stomatal size, stomatal pore size and stomatal index. The results indicated that the shape of the epidermal cell in most species was irregular, isodiametric and polygonal on both abaxial and adaxial surfaces. The anticlinal wall pattern was mostly undulate but some species have straight and smooth walls. Leaves were mostly amphistomatic while the type of stomata were found as anisocytic and anomocytic. Unicellular and multicellular non-glandular trichomes were also observed.

Jute, as a crop, faces various types of environmental pressures, including both biotic abiotic stresses and limited availability of genetic resources. Jute has been successfully cultivated in various regions within Saudi Arabia. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding its diversity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity of the jute germplasm of Saudi Arabia and compare it to that of international jute cultivars. This study included 72 samples of a total of 24 cultivars. This group included eight local jute cultivars and 16 international from “Japan, China, India, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and USA”. DNA was extracted and amplified using 7 start codon targeted (SCoT) primers. The data collected from the SCoT markers were evaluated using different analysis methods: Bayesian clustering analysis structure, and neighbour joining (NJ) tree. The results revealed elevated levels of polymorphic information content (PIC). The average value was 0.657, the SCoT markers were adequate for discerning and differentiating the specimens under examination. The findings from genetic data analyses revealed that the samples could be categorized into three distinct populations, while local jute cultivars from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia belongs to two different genetic populations. This is the first-time genetic diversity of local jute cultivars examine using SCoT technique. These results have significant potential for enhancing breeding efforts and improving the quality of jute cultivars and endorse crossbreeding initiatives involving these distinct genotypes.</p>","PeriodicalId":12467,"journal":{"name":"Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141609498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The majority of the fruits were categorized as globose (73%). Fruit weight among the fig accessions varied from 18.8 g (‘Nikitskiy 4067’) to 83 g (‘Konservniy’), with an average of 44 g. Azerbaijani figs demonstrated similar weight ranges, with 13 local accessions exceeding 50 g, including ‘Iri Absheron’, ‘Agh Enjir’, and ‘Vuqarli’. Two-way cluster analysis based on these traits identified fruit weight and dimensions as the primary grouping factors. Preliminary ISSR analysis using eight primers revealed polymorphism levels ranging from 40 to 100%, with an average of 63.5%. The mean genetic diversity among the 90 fig genotypes was calculated to be 0.65. Local Azerbaijani accessions exhibited comparable diversity to those from Ukraine and lower diversity than those from the United States. The Jaccard genetic distance index among the accessions was low. Both Azerbaijani and introduced accessions in the neighbor-joining (NJ) tree showed a random distribution that was independent of origin, which was further confirmed by principal coordinate analysis (PCoA).

This study focuses on a collection of <i>H. spontaneum</i> obtained from natural habitats in the Zagros basin, Iran. This collection demonstrates a wide range of variations in seed quality, which were analyzed based on various parameters such as malting efficiency, cold and hot water extract, brix, reducing sugar, and color intensity. Additionally, the nutritional characteristics of the straw produced by each genotype of this germplasm were evaluated under rainfed and irrigated conditions, including crude protein (%CP), crude fiber (%CF), acid detergent fiber (%ADF), dry matter digestibility (%DMD), metabolism energy (ME), digestible energy (DE), and total digestible nutrient (TNT) characteristics. The genetic structure of the population was assessed using 97 different alleles amplified for 35 simple sequence repeat (SSR) and expressed sequence tag (EST)-derived SSR markers. The analysis revealed the presence of seven distinct sub-populations within this diverse panel of wild barley. Marker-trait association analysis identified the markers BeMAG0323 and GBM1461 as highly informative loci for the seed quality traits under both conditions. The markers SCSSR15864 and BMAC0154 were found to have the most significant association with the quality characteristics of the straw. This study is the first to establish a connection between straw traits and seed quality in barley by utilizing SSR and EST-SSR markers.
