Characterization of the Genetic Variability within Ziziphus nummularia Genotypes by Phenotypic Traits and SSR Markers with Special Reference to Geographic Distribution.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the impacts and constraints of climate change on Ziziphus nummularia's geographical distribution is crucial for its future sustainability. In this study, we analyze information obtained from the field investigation, the distribution and response of climatic changes of Ziziphus nummularia by the use of ArcGIS analysis. The genetic diversity of 180 genotypes from three populations was studied by morphological attributes and simple sequence repeat (SSR). The results showed that the significant bioclimatic variable limiting the distribution of Z. nummularia was the mean temperature (bio 10_18.tif and bio19). Under the current climatic change, the suitable growth region of Z. nummularia is Swat (35.22° N, 72.42° E), while the future distribution would b
