This study was carried out during 2011- 2013 to determine some qualitative and
quantitative features of some distribution trees of Prunus ursina in different regions of
Syrian coast.7 natural distribution sites were determined and 43 trees were det
ermined as
samples.
22 features of different plant portions were studied using biological
measurements(leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds). Statistical analysis of investigated phenotypes
showed that trees were distributed in 5 groups (A, B, C, D, E) each one considered
phenotype. The results showed existence of one phenotype in several sites (C, D, E) while
(A and B) phenotypes were distributed in one site, while (A) phenotype was located in one
tree only in " Nabeen" site whereas (B) phenotype was located on only half investigated
trees in "Btmaze" site, while the other half distributed in (D) phenotype.
In the present study¸ twelve parameters of Capparis spinosa were studied which are: plant length¸
number of main branches¸ number of leaf doubles, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area¸ number of budes,
number of flowers, number of fruits, weight of t
he fruits, number of seeds, weight of seeds. Statistical
analysis have been done using mean¸ variation¸ A.F.C.
