Morphological and Molecular Differentiation in Populations of Persian Oak (Quercus Brantii Lindl.) in Southwestern Iran

et al. 2017

P ERSIAN oak (Quercus brantii Lindl.) is a common woody species in the Zagros forests of Iran. The current study evaluates the variation among the Q. brantii populations in the southwestern forests of Iran using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and leaf morphology. A total of 135 trees were sampled from 27 populations representing nine regions in the provinces of Khuzestan (GOL, EMA, BAB, MOG, ALG), Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari (MON), Lorestan (KHA), Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad (DIS) and Fars (BAA). Twelve morphological leaf traits were analyzed using PCA and Ward's clustering methods. The results of ANOVA showed significant differences between populations, but the PCA graph and clustering analysis could not separate the populations on the basis of leaf characteristics. An analysis of molecular variance indicated that most genetic variation was contained within populations (95%); differences between populations accounted for only 1% and 4% was attributed to variation between regions. The five regions of Khuzestan have similar genetic structures. This was observed for the regions in Fars, Lorestan and Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari. Region DIS of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad had a separate genetic structure. The Dendrogram of Quercus brantii populations based on AFLP marker and Cluster analysis of populations using Ward's method based on morphological data don't confirm each other and in both, populations mix together. The current study revealed the some morphological and molecular differences in some populations of Persian oak in Iran. Population genetic information can provide critical insights into range expansion and evolutionary potential to adapt to environmental changes.

“…It reduces the risk of thrombophlebitis and is enrolled in the control of bleeding [45]. Febrile states respond positively to SB oil [46], as well as symptoms of rheumatoid disease [6]. Some of the lipophilic components (ά-and γ-linolenic acids) of SB oil positively influence brain functions and the central nervous system by an antidepressant effect [47].…”

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L., Elaeagnaceae.) is a thorny shrub that has small, yellow to dark orange, soft, juicy berries. Due to hydrophilic and lipophilic ingredients, berries have been used as food and medicine. Sea buckthorn (SB) oil derived from berries is a source of valuable ingredients for cosmeceuticals. The unique combination of SB oil ingredients, in qualitative and quantitative aspects, provides multiple benefits of SB oil for internal and external use. Externally, SB oil can be applied in both healthy and damaged skin (burns or skin damage of different etiology), as it has good wound healing properties. Due to the well-balanced content of fatty acids, carotenoids, and vitamins, SB oil may be incorporated in cosmeceuticals for dry, flaky, burned, irritated, or rapidly ageing skin. There have been more than 100 ingredients identified in SB oil, some of which are rare in the plant kingdom (e.g., the ratio of palmitoleic to γ-linolenic acid). This review discusses facts related to the origin and properties of SB oil that make it suitable for cosmeceutical formulation.

“…Although the primary ecological function of these SMs is self-defence, antimicrobial compounds have long been used in alternative medicine (reviewed by e.g. Šarić-Kundalić et al 2011, Shikov et al 2014. Also, their use as natural pest control is well established (e.g.…”

Extended research has been carried out to clarify the ecological role of plant secondary metabolites (SMs). Although their primary ecological function is self-defence, bioactive compounds have long been used in alternative medicine or in biological control of pests. One single plant may contain a wide variety of bioactive compounds, making analytics rather costly. The total bactericide capacity can be quantified by either microbiological or ecotoxicological methods. Here, the principle and possible applications of a specific bacterial bioluminescence inhibition based ecotoxicological assay are reviewed.
