    Abstract The mitochondrial genome sequence of Levant Region honeybee, Apis mellifera syriaca, is analyzed and presented for the public for the first time. The genome of this honeybee is 15,428 bp in its length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The overall base composition is A (42.88%), C (9.97%), G (5.85%), and T (41.3%), the percentage of A and T being higher than that of G and C. Percentage of non-ATGC characters is 0.007. All the genes are encoded on H-strand, except for four subunit genes (ND1, ND4, ND4L, and ND5), two rRNA genes and eight tRNA genes. The publication of the mitochondrial genome sequence will play a vital role in the conservation genetic projects of A. mellifera, in general, and Apis mellifera syriaca, in particular; moreover, it will be useful for further phylogenetic analysis.

    Abstract Flash flood is among the most catastrophic hazards worldwide. Jordan has been witnessing unusual shocks of flash floods with regular intervals. It is best described as sudden events involving ‘too much water in too little time’. This study aims at presenting flash flood assessment and producing a potential flood hazard severity map. The GIS-based hydrology assessment was carried out using Rational model. The model integrates biophysical characteristics of the basin and the hydrometrological information. The range of peak discharge was around 5 MCM in the Jordan Valley to 65 MCM in W. Hammad basin. Flood hazard severity map was produced based on Integrated Context Analysis approach (ICA) at surface basin's level. It has been shown that 17.6% of Jordan's area is categorized into ‘high’ class hazard severity. The study provides consistent information at a national-scale on flood hazard reclassification to support the development of the implementation of flood management policy of flood mitigation activities. Also, it proves the usefulness of GIS technology in model preparation and parameterizations.

    Abstract The complete mitochondrial genome of the olive cultivar Mehras was determined using high-throughput sequencing technology. It consisted of 710,808 base pairs and comprised 70 genes, including 44 protein-coding genes, 23 tRNA genes, and three rRNA genes, with a GC content of 44.7%. Significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions/deletions (InDels) were detected throughout the mitogenome. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted using other genotypes, including five olive cultivars, three related species, and

    Abstract Genetic selection is an important method to enhance productive traits in local sheep through crossbreeding and selection programs. The objectives of this study were to estimate the genetic parameters of total milk yield (MY) and lactation period (LP), and to investigate the association between the estimated breeding values of milk yield with 50 K SNP chip results in Awassi sheep. Heritability and repeatability estimates were 0.19 and 0.317 for MY and 0.085 and 0.163 for LP, respectively. The Genomic scan covered 42,478 SNPs and revealed two candidate loci (s244475780.1 and s51470.1) that significantly affect milk production, located on Spermatogenesis-Associated Protein6 (SPATA6) and Galactose-3-O-Sulfotransferase 3 (GAL3ST3) genes. The genotype frequencies for the SPATA6 gene variant were 0.0566 for AA, 0.4528 for AG, and 0.4906 for AA, with allele frequency of 0.283 for A and 0.717 for G. The genotype frequencies for the GAL3ST3 gene variants were 0.07843 for TT, 0.4118 for TG, and 0.5098 for GG, with allele frequency of 0.284 for T and 0.716 for G. The two SNPs genotypes are promising biomarkers to increase milk production during genetic selection programs by reducing the frequency of G alleles in the two loci in Awassi sheep genome.

    Abstract One hundred and twenty samples of breast milk were collected from five northern governorates and districts in Jordan in 2019 and 2020 to monitor results for organochlorine pesticides as organic contaminants. The results showed that 36 samples (30%) of total 120 analyzed samples were contaminated as follows: 16 samples (13.3%) were contaminated with dieldrin, 4 samples (3.3%) with p,p′-DDE, 4 samples (3.3%) with p,p′-DDD, 8 samples (6.7%) with p,p′-DDT and 4 samples (3.3%) with o,p′-DDE. Comparing results of the current study with those of 2015 study, no residues for the HCHs in 2019/2020 study have been detected, an increase in the DDTs occurred and an increase in the cyclodiens in the 2019/2020 compared to the 2015 study.

    Abstract This study aimed to develop novel SSR markers in tomato. Several BAC clones along chromosome 3 in tomato were selected based on their content. The criteria was the availability of genes, either directly or indirectly related to stress response (drought, salinity, and heat) in tomato. A total of 20 novel in silico SSR markers were developed and 96 important nearby genes were identified. The identified nearby genes represent different tomato genes involved in plant growth and development and biotic and abiotic stress tolerance. The developed SSR markers were assessed using tomato landraces. A total of 29 determinate and semi-determinate local tomato landraces collected from diverse environments were utilized. A total of 33 alleles with mean of 1.65 alleles per locus were scored, showing 100% polymorphic patterns, with a mean of 0.18 polymorphism information content (PIC) values. The mean of observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.19 and 0.24, respectively. The mean value of the Jaccard similarity index was used for clustering the landraces. The developed microsatellite markers showed potential to assess genetic variability among tomato landraces. The genetic distance information reported in this study can be used by breeders in future genetic improvement of tomato for tolerance against diverse stresses.

    Methods: Treatment was conducted in one apiary consisting 30 colonies kept in Langstroth hives kind. Oxalic acid dripped directly on bees 5ml of this solution of oxalic acid per lane occupied by a syringe. Three doses were tested: 4.2, 3.2 and 2.1% oxalic acid is 100, 75 and 50 g of oxalic acid dehydrate in one litter of sugar syrup (1water to1 surge) concentration.
    Results: The percentage of average efficiency obtained for the first dose was 81%, 72.19% for the second dose, and 65% for third one, while the dose of 100 g oxalic acid causes a weakening of honey bee colonies.
    Conclusion: The experiments revealed that clear variation in the treatment efficiency among colonies that this might be related to brood presence therefore in order to assure the treatment efficiency oxalic acid should be part of a bigger strategy of
