TL;DR: Les resultats montrent clairement that the technique utilisee constitue un outil efficace pouvant etre utilise comme une approche informative des relations phylogenetiques qui existent entre les varietes tunisiennes de palmier dattier sans pour autant pouvoir les identifier comme des groupes monophylogenetiques.

TL;DR: Genetic markers generated from selected ISSR primers were used to assess genetic diversity among a set of Tunisian date palm varieties and identified phenetic groups that were in agreement with those obtained according to agronomic traits and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers.

TL;DR: The data proved that RAPD markers are useful for germplasm discrimination as well as for investigation of patterns of variation in fig.

TL;DR: The present study portrays the achievement of the genetic polymorphism surveying and the establishment of an ecotypes identification key on the basis of simple sequence repeats data used to check the conformity of the plant material and to rationally manage the conservation of this crop.

TL;DR: The present data support the Mesopotamian origin of the date-palm domestication and the opportunity of the RAMPO method to provide additional molecular markers suitable in the improvement of thedate-palms germplasm characterisation.
