This research was conducted during the period of 2014 - 2015 in six locations
ranging from a height of between (0-500 m) in Syria, Tartous Governate in order to survey
and evaluate some mulberry types belong to (Morus alba and Morus nigra). 33 type
s (22
of white mulberry and 11 of black mulberry) were determined for the purpose of
morphological and phenological characterization and for the determination of the degree of
morphological relationship between those types in addition to setting their own taxonomic
keys. Morphological analysis was done based on 14 morphology characteristics (leaves,
catkins, fruits) in addition to a cluster analysis for all types belongs to white and black
species and for each species alone.
The morphological tree for all types showed two main groups with a contrast ratio of
(48%), the first group included three types belong to black mulberry, and the second group
included 30 types belong to both species with a contrast ratio of (0-38%), while the
morphological tree for the black species types showed a contrast ratio of (47%) and (33%)
for the white specie types.
The degree of morphological similarity is variable between the studied types
regardless of fruits color, and the percentage of contrast among the black mulberry types is
higher than white mulberry types.
Morphological Characterization Has Been Achieved For (10) Phenotype Wild
Apple(Malus trilobata (Lab) ) In JABLEH mountains During The Period (2013-2014) In
Five Area (Pichraghe, Helbako, Almonaizlah, Raas al chaara, Aldalia),In Height Between
(780
-1250) m On See Standard, Morphological Characterization Included The
Characteristics Of The Tree, Stem, Shoots, Leaves, Flowers, Fruit And Seed. The Cluster
Analysis For (12) Characteristics Were Divided Into Two Groups Variation Ratio Even (57
%) , The First Group Included Four Types(Two Types Of Rass al chaara(R1, R2), One
Type Of Pichraghe(P1) And One Type Of Almonaizlah(M2) ), Variation Ratio Was The
Least(29.4%) Between (P1) And (R1), The Second Group Included Six Types (Tow
Types Of Pichraghe (P2, P3), Two Types Of Helbako, One Type Of Almonaizlah(M1)
And One Type Of Aldalia (D1).The Second Group Included Tow Sup Group Variation
Ratio Even (52%),The First(P2, P3), And The Second (H1, H2, M1, D1). Variation Ratio
Was The Least(23%) Between (H1) And (H2).
This study aims to determine the difference of householder spending values between the Syrian provinces. It also aims to find out which of the components and the various items of expenditure, that contributed significantly to the occurrence of this d
ifference and disparity between provinces , where cluster analysis method was used to find out this difference and classification .
The most important results that have been reached: The result of cluster analysis is that there are three groups of Syrian provinces , the first group included the provinces of high householder spending such as Damascus province , the second group included the provinces of medium householder spending such as: Rural Damascus , Homs , Tartus , Lattakia , Al-Sweida , Daraa , Al – Quneitra .
The third group included the provinces of low householder spending such as: Hama , Idleb , Aleppo , Al-Rakka , Deir-ez-Zor , Al-Hasakeh .
Accordingly , that most important components and variables of householder spending, which contributed to the classification of the Syrian provinces of homogeneous groups are spending on housing , spending on education , spending on health , spending on transport and communications .
