Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for Acacia senegal (L.) Willd., a multipurpose arid and semi-arid tree.

Association of growth related seedling traits in under arid environment of western Rajasthan Acacia senegal

Polyploidy can Confer Superiority to West African Acacia senegal (L.) Willd. Trees

Polyploidy is a common phenomenon in the evolution of angiosperms. It has been suggested that polyploids manage harsh environments better than their diploid relatives but empirical data supporting this hypothesis are scarce, especially for trees. Using microsatellite markers and flow cytometry, we examine the frequency of polyploids and diploids in a progeny trial testing four different populat...

Identification and Characterization of Rhizobium Associated with Woody Legume Trees Grown under Saudi Arabia Condition

Six woody legume tree species, Acacia ehrenbergiana (Hayne.), Acacia nilotica (Willd.), Acacia saligna (Labill.), Acacia tortilis (Forssk.), Acacia tortilis var. reddiana ( Savi.) and Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) were performed the growth characteristics and to identify the resistance of native isolated Rhizobium strains from root zone surrounding trees to environmental stressesantibiotic, high...

Microsatellite 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 ...

Estimation of Browse Productivity for Acacia seyal (Delile) in Alazzazah Area, Blue Nile State, Sudan

Fodder trees and shrubs are crucial sources of animal feed in Sudan, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas. This is because they can fill up the feed gaps in the summer period when grassland growth is limited due to unfavorable weather conditions. The study was conducted in Elnour forest-southeastern Sudan in 2015, which is dominated by Acacia seyal. The objectives of this study were to esti...
