The Caper (Capparis spinosa L.) is Plant, which has an economic value and high medical efficiency. The populations of this plant have an evident morphological diversity in our nature.
This research is devoted for studying the diversity of the variet
ies of the plant Capparis spinosa L., depending on protein contents properties of leaves and seeds, by Quantitative study and Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) method.
The aim is to check if these norms confirm or change the Classification grade of the varieties of the studied plant.
Our results show that existence of homogeneity between these Varieties, in the same time an acceptable differences. This can be considered among classification standard to help distinguish the different forms of Capparis spinosa L. plant and still regarded as Varieties.
Due to the economical and medical importance of the Capparisspinosa plant and the
wide distribution of this plant in the Syria environment, it was thought that a study of the
composition of Essential Oil extracted from this plant.
The Capparisspin
osa Essential Oil was extracted and purified components wher
studied by GC-Mass spectrometry.
The Oil was obtained by steam distillation (Clevegerexractor) and by solvent n-
Hexane. Components have been found which was about (98.9 %) from the total of
essential oil.
The major components were determined by steam distillation which were the
following:Palmitic acid (21.12%), Hexatriacontane (15.87%), n-Heneicosane (10.96%),
Pentatriacontane (9.92%), Hexahydrofarnesyl acetone (8.51%).
The major components were determined by solvent Hexane: Isobornyl acrylate
(66.89%), 2-Azido-2,3,3-trimethylbutane (6.09%), Ethanolamine (5.41%).
Ecological and morphological characterization and geographical distribution of caper plant, Capparis spinosa L. samples collected from various parts of Syria were investigated during 2010-2014. The antioxidant contents of caper samples were analyzed and the genetic diversity and genetic relationship among the samples were determined using the ISSR technique
