Short Abstract: In this book we present a study aimed to determine the morphological,
biochemical (protein SDS-PAGE and isozyme) and molecular (RAPD- and ISSR-PCR) characteristics
in different ecological types of milk thistle collected from Egyptian habitats and identify levels of
active ingredients as a way towards improvement of this plant on the commercial leve. the results
of SDS-PAGE data for twelve silybum accessions confirmed that there were negative markers. Also,
the results of RAPD and ISSR-PCR data analysis confirm that there were two positive markers.
Finally both positive and negative marker for the highest production of the fixed oil by primers
HB12 and X06 and three positive markers the lowest production of the fixed oil by primers HB14
and HB15.

Short Abstract: Silybum marianum, known as milk thistle (MT), a plant that grows throughout the
Mediterranean, southern Europe and parts of the US, has been used for some 2000 years as both
food and medicine. The aims of this study were to determine the morphological, biochemical
(protein profile and isozyme) and molecular (RAPD- and ISSR-PCR) characteristics of MT and to
identify and quantify its active ingredients. Twelve accessions of MT collected from Borg El-Arab,
an Egyptian habitat located at north/west cost, were tested. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis indicated
that both accessions belong to location 3 and cultivated had specific bands. Data analysis of
isozyme banding patterns showed different migration rates for four isozymes (±- and ²-esterase,
peroxidase and acid phosphatase). These isozymes belonging to different Silybum accessions
found in the locations may represent a degree of genetic variation. RAPD-PCR fingerprinting
resulted in 83 amplicons (DNA bands), 33 of which were polymorphic. Furthermore, 10 accessions
proved to have specific molecular markers. ISSR-PCR fingerprinting resulted in 40 amplicons, 16 of
which were polymorphic. Six accessions-specific markers were found for MT accessions. The
estimation of genetic distance based on SDS-PAGE, isozymes, RAPD-PCR and ISSR-PCR ranged from
85 to 95%.

Short Abstract: Local Egyptian cattle have long supported farmers in producing animal products as
well as providing animal power needed for their fields. These animals have shown along the
centuries the best characteristics of adaptation to the Egyptian climatic conditions, tolerance to
endemic diseases and producing and reproducing under less than optimum feeding conditions.
These cattle have received little support, however, in term of genetic improvement and there has
not been any directional selection program. There is also lack of well coordinated national
breeding strategy for them. With growing demand on animal products the cattle have been used
in indiscriminate crossing with exotics to produce better performing crossbreds. This has led to in
some regions in the country to the scarcity of pure bred local cattle, hence the genetic integrity of
the breed is undermined. Local cattle in Egypt are called under the umbrella name ‘Baladi’ literally
meaning local, without any subdivision into breeds or other genetic subdivisions. Sometime they
are named according to the region of the country they come from. A first approach for improving
these cattle is to genetically characterize them at the genome level which also could expedite the
selection effort as compared to the conventional selection using the quantitative genetics
approach only. The country has got competent manpower and good technological resources to
develop a successful program of livestock development based on the use of own re
