This study was conducted during the period started\nfrom 2016 to 2018. 35 trees (genotypes) were collected from (6) sites (Jabla,\nKasab, Drekesh, Kab, Brmant AL mshaeh and Msiaf) and were used for DNA analysis\nby 17 SSR primer pairs. The results showed that out of 17 primer pairs, only 6\nwere polymorphic and produced 14 different alleles. Number of alleles ranged\nfrom (2) to (4) with a mean of 2.3 alleles\/primer pair. The genetic diversity\nwas estimated for each locus and ranged from 0.37 (TPScp9F\/ TPScp9R) to 0.51 (BPPCT038F\/BPPCT038R) and\n(CPDCT014\/AY862451). Dendrogram based on genetic\ndistance results was established and two groups were obtained. The first group\nincluded samples from Brmant AL mshaeh, Kasab and Jabla, while the second group\nhad samples from Msiaf, Kab and Drekesh. Samples from Drekesh were the most\ndistant. No variation was detected between samples from the same site, but\nfound among the different sites. Level of genetic diversity in <em>P<\/em>. <em>ursina<\/em>\nwas low in the sites investigated, therefore there is a need to continue\ncollecting more samples from other sites to detect the genetic diversity of <em>p.\nursina<\/em> and keep them in gene bank gene bank in order to use them in future\ngenetic improvement programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key words:<\/strong> <em>P. ursina, <\/em>Molecular characterization, Geneticdiversity<em>, <\/em>Syrian coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full Paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/sjar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/v7n1p2.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wafaa Choumane (1) Haytham Ismael(1) Safaa Sabbouh*(2) Mazen Rajab(3) and Ammar Amran(3) (1).
