Biochemical and molecular genetics identification of Salicornia sp. and Sarcocornia sp. in the north coast of Egypt

الملخص EN

Because water scarcity anticipated to increase within the destiny in particular with growing global population and the rise in prosperity problem of the shortage of water suitable for cultivation of meals plants inside the global is growing in arid and semi-arid regions.

There is the call to discover some other plant resource that doesn't need freshwater i.

e.

able to grow using seawater.

It is worth to note that Salicornia sp.

and Sarcocornia sp.

may be grown at the seawater.

Currently, considered one of the most crucial issues dealing with Egypt is a way to provide food within the frame of limiting to be had soils for cultivation, limitation of water resources, especially after Ethiopian Nahda Dam and growing in population.

Accordingly, the use of halophytes forage plants (Salicornia and Sarcocornia) using seawater has emerged as one in all the most exciting and intelligent research points.

Therefore, a case observe was carried out in 2018 and 2019 to evaluate the nutritional status of Salicornia and Sarcocornia plants which can be grown on salty water in the North Coast of Egypt.

Five samples of Salicornia and Sarcocornia amassed from Damietta Port Said coastal road and identified depends on phenotypic homes to Sarcocornia perennis (DA), Sarcocornia perennis (PS), Sarcocornia fruticosa, Salicornia europaea and Salicornia herbacea.

Proximate composition analyses were carried out.

It turned into obtrusive that, among dry biomass, carbohydrate has become in the most important proximate compositions in the Sarcocornia sp.

and Salicornia sp.

Tissues observed through ash.

Molecular evaluation by SCoT techniques turned into done for Salicornia and Sarcocornia.

The SCoT molecular marker techniques reach producing reproducible and dependable amplicons.

Even though that the SCoT technique became higher in assessment for molecular variety and discrimination ability for all studied Salicornia and Sarcocornia.

The results obtained have shown that the high nutritional value of the plant in terms of protein content, carbohydrates content and as a result, it is suitable for food
