Clonality disguises the vulnerability of a threatened arid zone Acacia
Long-lived, widespread plant species are expected to be genetically diverse, reflecting the interaction between large population sizes, overlapping generations, and gene flow. Such species are thought to be resilient to disturbance, but may carry an extinction debt due to reproductive failure. Genetic studies of Australian arid zone plant species suggest an unusually high frequency of asexualit...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for Acacia senegal (L.) Willd., a multipurpose arid and semi-arid tree.
Acacia senegal is a multipurpose African tree that improves the soil fertility of degraded areas. The species is exploited mainly for gum arabic, but it also supplies fuel wood and fodder for animals. Despite its wide distribution in Africa, no microsatellite markers have yet been characterized for this species. In this study, we characterized 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci specifically des...
متن کاملAntibacterial and Antifungal Potential of some Arid Zone Plants
Sequential extracts of some medicinally important arid zone plants of Rajasthan, viz. Lepidagathis trinervis Nees., Polycarpea corymbosa Lam. and Sericostoma pauciflorum Stocks. ex Wight. were tested against six bacterial (Gram +ve and Gram -ve) and five fungal strains using agar well diffusion method. Ethyl acetate extract of L. trinervis showed maximum activity against Bacillus subtilis, Ente...
متن کاملMicrosatellite primers for vulnerable and thriving Acacia (Fabaceae) species from Australia's arid zone.
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite markers were developed for the common arid Australian shrub Acacia ligulata (Fabaceae) and the threatened overstory trees A. melvillei and A. pendula. METHODS AND RESULTS DNA sequence data generated by 454 sequencing were used to identify microsatellite nucleotide repeat motifs. Including previously developed primer sets, we report on the development of 10 ...
متن کاملChemical composition of Acacia colei and Acacia tumida seeds—potential food sources in the semi-arid tropics
The seeds of Acacia colei (Maslin and Thomson) and A. tumida (F. Muell ex Benth.) are traditional foods of Australian Aboriginal people. Chemical analysis was carried out on seeds of A. colei trees growing in Maradi district, Niger Republic and A. tumida from a natural stand near Kunanurra in north western Australia. Crude protein (N 6.25) ranged from 23.4% for whole A. colei seed to 30.6% for ...
