Abstract Genetic diversity and variability between populations is essential for the long-term survival of plant species as well their adaptation to different habitats. The Capparis spinosa L. has two subspecies in Spain, with stipules thorny rupestris without them. In used its cultivation , which difficult manipulate due thorny. capers, unripe fruits tender shoots are food. caper a rich source ...

The caper plant is widespread in Sicily (Italy) both wild natural habitats and as specialized crops, showing considerable morphological variation. However, although contributing to a thriving market, innovation cropping low. aim of the study was evaluate agronomic production behavior some biotypes Capparis spinosa L. subsp. rupestris, identified on Island Linosa for growing purposes.

Use of chemical pesticides is the current method for controlling sandflies. However, resistance is being developed in sandflies against the insecticide of choice that is DDT (dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane). Botanicals have potential to act as an alternative to chemical insecticides as the crude extracts and active molecules of some plants show insecticidal effect to sandflies. This will lead...
