“…Due to its nutritional value and health benefit, its importance is likely to continue worldwide [12]. Compared with other common fruits and beverages, the figs are an important source of minerals, vitamins, and amino acids [21]; it contains the highest concentrations of polyphenols [29]; and it includes relatively high amounts of crude fiber [30].…”

The genetic diversity of 13 local Palestinian fig genotypes was investigated using RAPD markers. Among the 30 tested primers, 28 revealed various banding patterns and 2 generated no polymorphic bands. In addition, 13 primers (46.4%) produced good amplification products with high intensity and pattern stability. A total of 94 DNA fragments (loci), separated by electrophoresis on agarose gel were detected, ranging in size from 190 to 1300 bp. Of these fragments, 72 (76.6%) were polymorphic and 22 (23.4%) were monomorphic. A minimum of three and a maximum of eight DNA fragments were obtained using (OPH-02 and OPT-10) as well as (OPA-13, OPA-18 and OPY-07) primers respectively. The maximum percentage of polymorphic markers was 100.0 (Z-5, Z-12, and OPT-10) and the minimum was 60.0 (OPH-02). Primers OPY-07 and OPA-13 revealed high collective resolving power (Rp) values with 4.640 and 4.760 respectively and therefore, they were the most useful RAPD primers to assess the genetic diversity in the Palestinian figs. Genetic distance matrix showed an average distance range from 0.186 to 0.559 with a mean of 0.373. Thus, the cultivars tested in this study were characterized by large divergence at the DNA level. To our knowledge, this is the first report using RAPD marker to assess genetic diversity of Palestinian figs.

“…Fruits of fi g trees are widely used in fresh or dried form. They are an excellent source of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, crude fi bers as well as phenolic compounds [Lianju et al, 2003;Solomon et al, 2006]. Phenolic compounds are important constituents of fruits quality because of their contribution to the taste and colour of the fruit [Veberic et al, 2008].…”

In this work the infl uence of 50-80% (v/v) aqueous ethanol and the temperature of extraction (25-80°C) on the extractability of total phenolics, total fl avonoids and total proanthocyanidins from different fi g fruits was investigated. The best extraction conditions (80%, v/v aqueous ethanol, 80°C) obtained in the experiments with lyophilised Ficus carica L. cv. Šaraguja were used while performing the extraction of phenolic compounds from other fi g varieties (Bružetka bijela, Crnica, Bjelica and Termenjača). The antioxidant capacity was measured in all fi g fruits as well.It has been shown that the temperature of extraction and ethanol to water ratio have a statistically signifi cant infl uence on the extraction of phenolic compounds from fi g fruits variety Šaraguja. The highest content of phenolic compounds was found in fi g variety Crnica while the lowest one in fi g variety Bjelica. According to the results obtained in this study, fi g fruits can be considered as a natural source of phenolic compounds with good antioxidant capacity.

“…Today, it is an important crop worldwide for dry and fresh consumption and its fruit is an important source of minerals and vitamins, and amino acids as well (Lianju et al, 2003). Dried figs also contain relatively high amounts of crude fiber (5.8%, w/w), higher than that of all other common fruits (Vinson et al, 2005).…”

ABSTRACT. The fig tree (Ficus caricaL.) is of significant socioeconomic importance in Turkey, with 25% of the world's fig production. Genetic variation and relationships among 14 wild-grown figs sampled from Coruh Valley in Turkey were characterized by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Ninety-eight DNA fragments were scored after amplification of DNA samples with 13 random primers; 70% of the scored bands were polymorphic. Genetic distances between the fig genotypes ranged from 0.21 to 0.62. Genotypes 08-ART-02 and 08-ART-06 were found to be the most closely related, whereas 08-ART-09 and 08-ART-10 were the most distant. The 14 wild-grown genotypes were grouped into six main clusters and one outgroup. We conclude that RAPD analysis is efficient for genotyping wild-grown fig genotypes.
