Genetic and Biochemical Studies of Thymelaea hirsuta L. Growing Naturally at the North Western Coast

Thymelaea hirsuta L. grows naturally in the following habitats: ooletic sand dunes, salt marsh slopes, non-saline depression, road side, plateau, upstream of Wadi Halazeen, and wadi bed of Wadi Halazeen along Egypt's western Mediterranean coast. In May of 2017, soil and plant samples were taken. Thymelaea growing on the edge of salt marshes had the highest water volume. Thymelaea growing upstream of Wadi Halazeen had the highest total soluble carbohydrate value, whereas plants growing in ooletic sand dunes had the highest none-soluble carbohydrate and proline values. Thymelaea rising at plateaue had the highest total carbohydrate value. Thymelaea developing in a wadi bed had the highest levels of total lipids and total phenols. ISSR and SRAP molecular markers were used in the genetic testing.
