Long-Term Salinity-Responsive Transcriptome in Advanced Breeding Lines of Tomato.

Soil salinity and the scarcity of freshwater resources are two of the most common environmental constraints that negatively affect plant growth and productivity worldwide. The tomato ( Mill.) plant is moderately sensitive to salinity.

The Alia Camel of Jordan: a genetically distinct dromedary breed.

The Dromedary camel has a remarkable history amongst cultures across Asia and northern Africa, serving multiple purposes ranging from providing milk, textiles, racing, and acting as pack animals. Recent genetic studies have revealed that many dromedaries are genetically homogenous, indicating that they do not represent different breeds, advocating for camel 'type' over camel 'breed'. In this study, we leveraged whole genome sequencing (WGS) to sequence 15 Jordanian Alia camels for the first time, alongside 9 Jordanian mixed camels from diverse locations within the country.

Morphological and Biochemical Changes in the Mediterranean Cereal Cyst Nematode () during Diapause.

The cereal cyst nematode () is becoming an economically important species in global cereal production as it is being identified in many new cereal cultivated areas and causes significant losses. Consequently, understanding its biology becomes crucial for researchers in identifying its vulnerabilities and implementing effective control measures. In the current study, different morphological and biochemical changes of cysts containing eggs with infective juveniles from a barley field in Jordan were studied during the summer of 2021, at two sample dates.

Molecular Characterization of Dehydrin in Azraq Saltbush among Related Species.

spp. (saltbush) is known to survive extremely harsh environmental stresses such as salinity and drought. It mitigates such conditions based on specialized physiological and biochemical characteristics.

Dehydration Stress Memory Genes in L. ssp. (Desf.).

Exposure to successive stress cycles can result in a variety of memory response patterns in several plant species. We have investigated a group of these patterns at both the transcriptional and physiological memory levels in durum wheat. The data revealed huge discrepancies between investigated durum wheat cultivars, which presumably are all drought tolerant.

Development of SSR Markers Linked to Stress Responsive Genes along Tomato Chromosome 3 ( L.).

This study aimed to develop novel SSR markers in tomato. Several BAC clones along chromosome 3 in tomato were selected based on their content. The criteria was the availability of genes, either directly or indirectly related to stress response (drought, salinity, and heat) in tomato.

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Awassi-Jo sheep breed () in Jordan.

Using high-throughput sequencing technology, the complete mitochondrial genome of Awassi-Jo breed () was decoded. Mitochondrial genome was 16,617 bp in length. The genome contained 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, and 2 rRNA) and a control region (D-loop region).

Physiological and molecular responses for long term salinity stress in common fig ( L.).

Unlabelled: Salinity stress in increasingly becoming a major challenge in current and expanding agricultural ecosystems. Unlike temporal abiotic stresses, plants are usually exposed to salinity stress for an entire lifespan. Therefore, a long term effect (10 weeks) of continuous salinity exposure was investigated for three common fig landraces (Zraki, Mwazi, and Khdari).

Bioinformatics analysis of ubiquitin expression protein gene from .

Ubiquitin expression protein DNA clone (Hl-UBI) was isolated from collected from North Jordan. Its sequence of 285 nucleotides was also determined and deposited in the GeneBank. The 285-bp open reading frame coded for 76-amino acid protein having two domains; the ubiquitin domain and the C terminal extension.

Morphological and morphometrical analysis of Heterodera spp. populations in Jordan.

Phenotypic diversity of five Jordanian populations of cyst nematodes, Heterodera spp. collected from five regions from Jordan (Ar-Ramtha, Madaba, Dana, Al-Karak, and Jerash) was investigated. Soil samples were collected from one representative field in each region.

Cloning and Expression Profiling of the Polycomb Gene, Retinoblastoma-related Protein from Tomato Solanum lycopersicum L.

Cell cycle regulation mechanisms appear to be conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution. One of the important proteins involved in the regulation of cell cycle processes is retinoblastoma-related protein (RBR), which is a negative regulator of cell cycle progression, controlling the G1/S transition in plants and animals. In this study, we present the cloning and genomic structure of a putative SlRBR gene in the tomato Solanum lycopersicum L.
