In the present study, 20 sandalwood (Santalum album L.) genotypes were characterized using RAPD, ISSR and SSR markers. Twenty-five RAPD and twenty-one ISSR primers that generated clear and reproducible banding patterns amplified 225 and 208 bands, respectively, among 20 sandalwood genotypes. Out of 225, 181 (83.13 %) RAPD bands were polymorphic while out of 208, 156 (75.77 %) ISSR bands were polymorphic. The average polymorphism information content (PIC) for RAPD and ISSR was 0.84 and 0.86, respectively. A good correlation (0.96) was observed between the matrices produced by RAPD and ISSR primers. Though, there was high similarity among genotypes (0.79 for RAPD and 0.70 for ISSR), the observed genetic diversity was found good enough for the characterization of sandalwood genotypes. Cross-species transferability SSR markers developed in S. austrocaledonicum and S. insulare were found to be monomorphic. The results of the present investigation would provide valid guidelines for collection, conservation and characterization of sandalwood genetic resources.

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is a widely cultivated medicinal and aromatic plant valued for its essential oils used in pharmaceutical, culinary, and industrial applications. Breeding activities for fennel have been historically limited, but recent genomic advances have revealed substantial genetic diversity and variability among its populations, offering new opportunities to improve yield, oil composition, and stress resilience.

This study presents an integrated approach combining molecular, phytochemical, and biological analyses to characterize a newly discovered specimen from the northern Nile Delta, Egypt. Genetic fingerprinting using RAPD and ISSR markers revealed 85% band-sharing similarity with (), though distinct morphological and genetic traits suggested potential intraspecific variation. Phytochemical profiling identified high concentrations of bioactive compounds, including quercetin (42.

Background: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common fungal infection primarily caused by Candida albicans. It is associated with significant morbidity, especially in recurrent cases. Antifungal resistance, particularly to azole drugs, poses a growing challenge in treatment.

Common walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a globally important nut crop valued for its nutritional and economic benefits. Despite Türkiye's importance as a walnut producer, molecular characterization of local genotypes, particularly from historically cultivated regions such as inner Anatolia remains limited.
