Article Synopsis
  • Morocco is a biodiversity hotspot with significant wild and domestic Rosa species, essential for industries like cosmetics and floriculture.
  • The study used ISSR and DAMD markers to evaluate genetic diversity in wild Rosa species, finding that most genetic variation occurs within populations rather than between them.
  • Azrou region had the highest genetic diversity, and the analysis revealed that geographic origin had a weak correlation with patterns of genetic grouping among the different rose accessions.

The physicochemical properties of cladodes Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI) vary widely during maturation. However, few studies have been performed to evaluate changes in chemical characteristics on the pad depending on the maturity stages. Chemical proximate analysis like the content of total sugars, protein, dry matter, pH, conductivity and ash, depending on the variation of weight of the pad and the growing region was done to determine the changes of characteristics of nopal.
