Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In Tunisia, Kermes oak (Quercus coccifera L.) populations are severely destroyed due to deforestation. Nowadays, no preservation programs are attempted, yet, to conserve and promote the potential value of this resource. In this work, we assessed the genetic diversity of seven natural Tunisian populations of Q. coccifera from different bioclimates using Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats molecular markers....
