The present investigation was conducted to record variation of pod and seed traits among nine seed sources of Robinia pseudoacacia Linn. Study of variation is the first step for any breeding programme.Significant variations (p<0.05) were recorded for different morphological parameters of seed and seedling among the different provenances. Pods were collected from nine seed sources of Kashmir valley. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among the pod and seed traits, thus exhibiting more variability. Seed source (S2) exhibited outstanding performance for the pod and seed traits (pod length- 72.66 mm; pod width- 13.57mm; seeds per pod- 7.92), whereas S9 showed the lowest values for pod length as 60.98mm) and S8 recorded minimum values for pod width (11.13mm) and number of seeds per pod (4.55). Maximum seed weight among sites (24.05 g) was observed in S2 and it was found statistically at par with S4 (24.02 g) and followed by S6 (24.00 g) with minimum observed in S7 (22.66 g). Furthermore, this variability appeared to be geographically structured and would be mainly genetically controlled.

“…The efficacy of the SSR markers in genetic screening has been reported in other Prosopis species such as P. chilensis (Mol.) Stuntz, P. alba Griseb., P. flexuosa D.C., P. juliflora Swartz DC., P. pallida Humbolt & Bonpland ex Willd., P. rubriflora Hassl., and P. ruscifolia Griseb [38,39,[59][60][61]. We analyzed the type and distribution of SSRs in the P. juliflora and P. cineraria with related species cp genomes and detected the highest number of SSRs in P. juliflora (88) followed by 84 SSRs, including 13 compound SSRs in each (Figure 3).…”

Genus Prosopis (family Fabaceae) are shrubby trees, native to arid and semi-arid regions of Asia, Africa, and America and known for nitrogen fixation. Here, we have sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of two Prosopis species (P. juliflora and P. cineraria) and compared them with previously sequenced P. glandulosa, Adenanthera microsperma, and Parkia javanica belonging to the same family. The complete genome sequences of Prosopis species and related species ranged from 159,389 bp (A. microsperma) to 163,677 bp (P. cineraria). The overall GC contents of the genomes were almost the similar (35.9–36.6%). The P. juliflora and P. cineraria genomes encoded 132 and 131 genes, respectively, whereas both the species comprised of 85 protein-coding genes higher than other compared species. About 140, 134, and 129 repeats were identified in P. juliflora, P. cineraria and P. glandulosa cp genomes, respectively. Similarly, the maximum number of simple sequence repeats were determined in P. juliflora (88), P. cineraria (84), and P. glandulosa (78). Moreover, complete cp genome comparison determined a high degree of sequence similarity among P. juliflora, P. cineraria, and P. glandulosa, however some divergence in the intergenic spacers of A. microsperma and Parkia javanica were observed. The phylogenetic analysis showed that P. juliflora is closer to P. cineraria than P. glandulosa.

Mesquite (Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC), is an medium-sized tree (family Fabaceae, subfamily Mimosoideae), that has been intorcuded around the world. It is a noxious invasive species in Africa, Asia, and the Arabian Peninsula and a source of highly allergenic pollen in. The present article reviews the adverse allergenic effects of P. juliflora pollen on human and animal health. Several studies have diagnosed that allergenic pollens from Prosopis spp. can provoke respiratory problems. Prosopis pollen extracts have 16 allergenic components of which nine proteins were recognized as major allergens with some of them showing cross-reactivity. Clinically, understanding Prosopis pollen production, flowering seasonality, pollen load, and dispersal in the atmosphere are important to avoid allergic consequences for local inhabitants. Climate change and other pollution can also help to further facilitate allergenic issues. Furthermore, we document other human and animal health problems caused by invasive Prosopis trees. This includes flesh injuries, dental and gastric problems, and the facilitation of malaria. This review summarizes and enhances the existing knowledge about Prosopis flowering phenology, aeroallergen, and other human and animal health risks associated with this noxious plant.
