For understanding about aphid evolution, phylogenetic of aphid is crucial. However, neither the phylogenetic alterations of the Aphid taxa nor their comprehensive definition have been achieved. Therefore, a unique method has been developed in this study to examine COI gene sequencing and infer the relationships between the major aphid taxa. DNA was isolated, and a band of 550 bp of mt COI gene was amplified. Then the amplicons were sequenced. The part of the COI gene of the insect samples are alignment inside of NCBI GenBank by BLAST program, were used to compare our nucleotide have sequenced with other stored species of insect sequences. This research presented that studying phylogeny of aphid species through a sequencing technique can create a phylogenetic tree for the used species with reliable results. So, our species in Kurdistan region clustered in a monophyletic clade with published from most countries with high identic value (100%). The COI sequence of aphid species were submitted to GenBank with six accessions of OP355287 - OP355292. The composition of nucleotides of the sequence of COI gene was low of G-C base pairing. We were successful in showing that the mt-COI gene can be used as a molecular marker for the identification of related species, as shown by the similarities between the phylogenetic association created by COI","PeriodicalId":476723,"journal":{"name":"Mağallaẗ Tikrīt li-l-ʻulūm al-zirāʻaẗ̈","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136279531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Essential oils (EOs) extracted from various plant origins have received huge attention because of the possible health benefits. Essential oils are complicated combinations made up of numerous distinct chemicals isolated using various methods. Such chemicals demonstrated substantial biological functions like antioxidant and antibacterial activity through a variety of mechanisms, and they are less dangerous and pose no health problems to humans. In this article, we underline the importance of Essential oils such as major ingredients and sources, antibacterial activities, and potential uses in the food sector. The use of natural additives is becoming more common; nonetheless, they may have negative effects on organoleptic properties. As a result, more research is needed to adjust the dosages used to effectively stop the growth of microbes is still needed.

It is approved that humans are the main driving force that altering the land cover of the globe. In order to attain substantial development, urban authorities should think of useful tools to monitor how the land is now used to apprise future plan. The apprehension of urban change is crucial for making optimal decision and suitable planning. Satellite remote sensing is known potentially as a powerful way of assessing and mapping land-use/cover change at different spatial and temporal resolution. It also offers lower costs and time than those done using the traditional models. Remote sensing data and techniques are extremely useful because of its flexibility to provide views, repetitive coverage over a single area and real time and near real time data acquisition. land uses change and urban growth in remote sensing compose the analysis of two aerial or satellite image bands of a particular area which is recorded at two different dates. This study aims to a produce urban growth map for the small city of Darbandikhan, in the west of Kurdistan Region-Iraq, using RS-GIS data and techniques integrated with field data from 2003 to 2012. Results revealed that the has town sprawled by 2.7 times, from almost 1.9 km2in 2003 to 5.3 km2 in 2012, mainly to the North and West of the city. During this period population has doubled mainly because of migration from rural to urban area. Developed map shows that the distribution of facilities, except schools, trended to maintain around city center and not well distributed all over the town. It is also resulted that approximately 90% of streets were less than 15m.
