Both teaching staff at the College of Agriculture, University of Basra (Prof. Dr. Ahmed Youssef Lafta) (Prof. Aqil Hadi Abdul Wahed) participated in the Fourth International Conference and the Twelfth National Conference on Biotechnology, which was held in Tehran - Iran The participation included a research paper entitled Phylogenetic tree and genetic relationship of some date palm cultivars using microsatellite This study aims to determine the phylogenetic tree of date palm Phoenix dactylifera L. for six rare cultivars cultivated in four different locations in Basrah, southern Iraq. During the 2019-2020 planting season. In this paper, we used a simple sequence repeat (SSR) technique with six primers to estimate genetic relationships and determine the phylogenetic tree. As well as the study of genetic relationships between varieties resulting from the same origin and knowledge of genetic differences and common characteristics between these varieties The conference recommended work on all recent studies that guarantee the preservation of genetic genes
