چکیده
The carob tree, which is a member of the Fabaceae family, an agrosilvopastoral tree whose pre-Mediterranean tropical origin appears well established on basis genetic, fossil and physiological data. C. siliqua has recently been successfully introduced from Mediterranean basin to other parts world that have climate. In terms its domestication, there paleobotanical, philological, ecological historical evidence suggest species was spread by people Arabia, where it took refuge during Ice Age, Mesopotamia then western Mediterranean. This ?eastern refugium hypothesis? (ERH) postulates existence single for in eastern dissemination humans west region concomitant with domestication. However, recent results phylogenetic analyses revealed refuge, thus refuting ERH hypothesis supporting local use domestication native populations throughout paper advances arguments historical, sociocultural nature support also emphasise important role played Romans particularly Arabs Andalusians propagation

Clonal Propagation of Carob (ceratonia Siliqua L., Fabaceae)
Mature seeds of carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) were germinated on hormone free MS medium. Efforts were made to develop multiple shoots by using axillary buds of in vitro grown seedlings on MS medium fortified with different concentrations of BA singly and BA in combination with IAA or GA3. Axillary buds produced single shoot with a moderate amount of callus at the base of the explant after c...
