“…It can be harmful or toxic if it crosses the permissible level. In our analysis, we have found that the toxic heavy metals such as Pb and Cd were below the WHO permissible limits [31] . The study thus suggests that the corm extract do not contain metallic content at the range that is toxic to human consumption.…”

“…Olive cultivars are heterozygous clones selected from spontaneous, from uncontrolled crosses or are escaping from olive vergers constituting the feral forms. In addition, one of the potential solutions for the conservation measures is to convert the wild plant residues for industrial use (Benabderrahim et al, 2019;Elfalleh et al, 2019).…”

Few studies have reported the relationship between wild (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea var. sylvestris) and cultivated (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea var. europaea) olive trees by using diverse markers. Herein, the amino and fatty acids composition of stones from wild and cultivated olives were assessed respectively using amino acids analyzer and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Stones of 24 Tunisian olive samples including twelve cultivated trees and twelve wild trees were obtained from olives harvested at ripe stage. Results showed that 17 amino acids (with eight essential amino acids) and 15 fatty acids (eight saturated and seven unsaturated) were detected in the both olive taxa. Statistically, significant differences among wild and cultivated stones were observed for amino and fatty acids contents. Based on the major fatty acids and the essential amino acids, multivariate analyses classified olive varieties into three groups showing a close relationship between some wild and cultivated olive trees. Results were useful to distinguish some interest wild olive genotypes having stones richer in essential amino acids and monounsaturated fatty acids. Wild olive trees would constitute a genetic pool of interest criteria. These data would be used as complementary tool to morphological traits and molecular markers studies providing a relationship between the cultivated and wild olive trees.

“…Phytolead Boswellic acid, a component in frankincense resin, exerts its anti-inflammatory activity through binding to the enzyme 5lipoxygenase that promotes the formation of leukotrienes, a mediator of inflammation 83,84 . [85][86][87] . Functional genomic information contributes to the current understanding of molecular adaptive mechanisms to desert environment, and also will be helpful in designing protocols for the domestication of desert plants 88 .…”

Plants secondary metabolites that are essential for plant survival in its environment are a useful resource for drug discovery in the area of combination therapy. Desert plants, in particular, have a lot to offer; they experience stress conditions and activation/repression of pathways that lead to biosynthesis of unique compounds. The current knowledge on the effectiveness of combination therapy as compared to single treatment support the use of active plant-derived extracts or fractions composed of several metabolites. A set of metabolites, termed "metabolite signature", within an active fraction, will serve as a guide in the process of desert plants domestication. The combination of modern methods of transcriptome, proteome and metabolome analyses with precision agriculture, will pave the way to produce sustainable plant biomass for pharmaceutical industries.
