Abstract

Acacia Senegal var. senegal (Gum Arabic) as it is known world-wide, is one of the most important trees in Sudan with valuable contribution to the national income export commodity. Gum Arabic is an important ingridunt in several medicinal and food products. Little is known on the genetic markers and diversity of Acacia senegal. To our knowledge, this is the first study represents attempt to characterize genotypic variability of Acacia senegal var. senegal. The aim of this study was the molecular characterization of Acacia senegal var senegal using RAPD technique as molecular marker and to correlate the results obtained from genetic marker with the production and the geographical distribution of the trees. Acacia seeds were collected from different geographical areas of Sudan. Seeds of trees Acacia senegal var. senegal were cultivated in small pots. The seeds were germinated for 4 to 6 weeks then the new leaves were collected for DNA extraction using CTAB protocol. DNA was also extracted from the roots. Two octamer RAPD primers were evaluated for amplification of Acacia DNA. Phylogenetic tree was constructed based on RAPD-PCR which clustered the trees from each geographic area as separate group that were genetically related. The data showed a common ancestor of the three clusters suggesting.
