Genomic sequencing and microsatellite marker development for Boswellia papyrifera, an economically important but threatened tree native to dry tropical forests
Microsatellite (or simple sequence repeat, SSR) markers are highly informative DNA markers often used in conservation genetic research. Next-generation sequencing enables efficient development of large numbers of SSR markers at lower costs. Boswellia papyrifera is an economically important tree species used for frankincense production, an aromatic resinous gum exudate from bark. It grows in dry...
متن کاملRhizospheric microbial communities associated with wild and cultivated frankincense producing Boswellia sacra tree
Boswellia sacra, a frankincense producing endemic tree, has been well known for its cultural, religious and economic values. However, the tree has been least explored for the associated microsymbiota in the rhizosphere. The current study elucidates the fungal and bacterial communities of the rhizospheric regions of the wild and cultivated B. sacra tree populations through next generation sequen...
متن کاملEffect of Boswellia papyrifera on cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment is one of the most crucial disorders among multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Since MS is an inflammatory disease and Boswellia papyrifera has anti-inflammatory effects, the influence of B. papyrifera on cognitive impairment in MS patients has been investigated in the present study. METHODS In this clinical trial, 80 MS patients who referred to the clinic of Sha...
متن کاملRetrieving Tree Heights in African Savanna Woodlands Using Three Stage
African savanna woodlands have an unpredictable spatial and temporal variability of woody biomass densities as a result of the interplay of rainfall, soil nutrients, fire, people and herbivores. These woodlands are characterised by heterogeneous species distribution with irregular vertical structures. A large percentage of rural communities in southern Africa rely on communal woodlands to meet ...
متن کاملSeasonal patterns of leaf gas exchange and water relations in dry rain forest trees of contrasting leaf phenology.
Diurnal and seasonal patterns of leaf gas exchange and water relations were examined in tree species of contrasting leaf phenology growing in a seasonally dry tropical rain forest in north-eastern Australia. Two drought-deciduous species, Brachychiton australis (Schott and Endl.) A. Terracc. and Cochlospermum gillivraei Benth., and two evergreen species, Alphitonia excelsa (Fenzal) Benth. and A...
