Plant Metabolites Responses to Spatial Variation in South Sinai, Egypt
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
The study was conducted to investigate the variation in Plant metabolites adaptive responses which is due to the spatial variation (altitude).In this investigation, samples of two plant species, Fagonia mollis and Zilla spinosa was collected during two seasons, from three locations at different elevation in, south Sinai, Egypt. Evaluation of present methods used for analyzing the major biochemical contents (Soluble Carbohydrate, Water Soluble protein, Proline, Phenol and Photosynthetic Pigments). Results were statistically analyzed by using Oneway ANOVA and Post hoc-LSD tests (the least significant difference). Prominent variation was recorded as regards the biochemical constituents of the plants among the different wadis in all stages of growth .It is evident from this study that different biochemical attributes varied significantly during different seasons. It was found that spatial variation play a great role in the variation of these contents resulting from variation in altitudinal and latitudinal variation that lead to variation in climatic conditions and consequently make changes in all ecosystem components.
