Using high-throughput sequencing technology, the complete mitochondrial genome of Awassi-Jo breed (Ovis aries) was decoded. Mitochondrial genome was 16,617 bp in length. The genome contained 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, and 2 rRNA) and a control region (D-loop region). The genes were encoded on the H-strand, except for the ND6 gene and 8 t...

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Olea europaea subsp. europaea cultivar Mehras was determined using high-throughput sequencing technology. Chloroplast genome was 155,897 bp in length, containing a pair of 25,742 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions, which were separated by large and small single-copy regions (LSC and SSC) of 86,622 and 17,791...

We report the whole ram genome of Jordanian Awassi (Ovis aries), screened using the power of Illumina HiSeq sequencing technology, providing insights into the ram's genomic structure. Generated data will help in the assessment of naturally occurring genetic variation and population structure of this sheep breed using different structure variation m...

Increasing early-season cold tolerance of maize (Zea mays L.) has the potential to lengthen its growing season, reduce its environmental impact, and enhance its yields. Cold- and warm-grown plants differ for biomass accumulation and spectral reflectance, the latter caused by differences in leaf chlorophyll content, carotenoid content, or other chem...

Background Cold temperatures and their alleviation affect many plant traits including the abundance of protein coding gene transcripts. Transcript level changes that occur in response to cold temperatures and their alleviation are shared or vary across genotypes. In this study we identify individual transcripts and groups of functionally related tr...

Susceptibility of two pomegranate cultivars, population trends, biology, control, and migration of the pomegranate butterfly virachola livia (Klug) were investigated from April, 1998 to July, 2000 in three pomegranate orchards in northren Jordan. Infestation by V. Livia in the field started in the first week of August with 4% and increased graduall...
