Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to study the genetic relationship among 10 wild accessions of Origanum syriacum grown in Syria.
The results of this study may have a great impact on the
national biodiversity program whic
h lacks the employment of
molecular techniques, and thus we recommend making use
of these techniques in genotype identification in general, and
studying the relationship among them, and in particular in
studying important wild species of medical importance which
have not been described yet on the molecular level.
This research was carried out in the laboratories of the Atomic
Energy Commission Molecular Biology and Biotechnology
Department in Damascus to study the molecular characterization of
five of local and introduced grapes varieties which collected f
rom
the Pome and Grapevine Research Center in Sweida using 20
primer pairs of SSR.
