        <p>Moricandia sinaica is a member of genus Moricandia. Moricandia sinaica is used in traditional medicine to alleviate certain disorders such as syphilis and exhibits analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antioxidant, and antigenotoxic proper- ties. Buds were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) solid medium with dif- ferent strength with and without hormones asBAP and Kin. The best medium was half strength MS without hormones. Plantlets were exposed to different gamma radiation doses 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 Gy.The morphological param- eters of irradiated plantlets were decreased by increasing gamma radiation doses. The lethal dose was 40 Gy and the optimal dose for explant survival was 10 Gy. Genetic diversity was evaluated by ISSR markers using 20 primers. 149 bands were the total amplified bands by ISSR markers. The mean of polymorphism was 58.55%.The polymorphic information content (PIC) with an average 0.363 (PIC&lt;0.5) classifying most primers as moderately informative. High PIC values (0.371–0.374)and discriminating power confirmed substantial genomic varia- tion induced by Gamma radiation treatments. The effect of gamma radiation on organosulfur compounds as analyzed by GC- MS was limited to increased pro- duction as2-Myristynoyl pantetheine; reduced production as Ethanimidothioic acid,2-(Dimethylamino)N[(Methylamino)Carbonyl]Oxy]-2-Oxo-,Methyl Ester; disappearance of some compounds as Thiocyanic Acid, Octyl Ester and 2-[3-Cy- clohexylaminopropylamino] ethylthiophosphate and formation of some new compounds as Leukotriene D4 methyl ester, Cefazolin, Meraptal, Pentaacetate, Mannitol, tert-Hexadecanethiol, 2-Ethyl-5,7-Dimethyl.</p>

Tissue culture technique offers better control than <italic>in vivo </italic>growth conditions which illustrated the responses of plants to unsuitable environmental conditions as biotic and abi- otic stress, rapid multiplication of rare species and genetic transformation of plants. Moreover, it’s a rapid way for producing high quality genetically uniform plants and pre- serve the genetic gain. In addition, Micropropagation tech- nique helped the identification and isolation of bioactive phytocompounds has numerous industrial applications. production of plant derived bioactive compounds It pro- vides potential benefits for different industries which in- clude food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics, (<bold>Espinosa-Leal <italic>et al</italic>., 2018</bold>; <bold>Sobieh <italic>et al</italic>., 2018; Rout <italic>et al</italic>., 2000; Rout <italic>et al</italic>., 2006 and Wijerathna-Yapa and Hiti-Bandaralage, 2023). </bold>Gamma radiation estimated with 60Co has high penetration potential, carriages no risk to the environment in addition may be used to irradiate cells, tissues, organs and whole plants <bold>(Spinoso-Castillo <italic>et al</italic>., 2021).</bold>Gamma radiation damages plants directly by transfer their high en- ergy to DNA molecules to ionizing and damaging DNA and cellular components, otherwise indirectly by caus- ing water radiolysis to produce free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). In cooperation direct and indirect damage contribute to DNA damage, genomic instability, proteins, and lipids within the plant cell. This mutilation is influenced by factors such as total dose and dose rate of gamma radiation and the specific plant species, which can affect their ability to cope with and repair the damage. So, the milder exposure affects plant morphology, physiology, secondary metabolites and cell abnormalities. While, in se- vere cases of acute gamma radiation doses, the cumulative damage can be lethal to the plant. (<bold>Kovács and Keresztes,</bold></p>

Moreover, Differ- ent radiation doses can lead to different types and levels of genetic variation, which can be visualized by Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) marker. ISSR marker is based on polymerase chain reaction <bold>(Zebarjadi, <italic>et al</italic>., 2016). </bold>The ISSR marker established to be a fast, simple, steady, and highly informative method for DNA fingerprinting. This technique relies on amplifying a segment of DNA that is at a distance that can be found between two identical mi- crosatellite repeat regions oriented in opposite directions. This technique is valuable for plant breeding to induce and then monitor genetic diversity for crop improvement and distinguishing irradiated lines from the control based on their molecular fingerprinting <bold>(Wang <italic>et al</italic>., 2020 and El</bold></p>

Organo-Sulfur compounds, often referred to as S-containing compounds, that characterized by the presence of sulfur atoms in their molecular struc- tures and are a variety of secondary metabolites in plants. Moreover, these compounds play a chief role in plant de- fense, growth regulation, and ecological interactions which confer unique chemical properties and biological activities <bold>(Castro <italic>et al</italic>., 2023). </bold>Plants are the primary fabricators of organic sulfur compounds. sulfur assimilation is chloro- plast-associated where photosynthetic reductant and ATP reduce sulfur compounds (such as sulfate) for biosynthesis of sulfur containing amino acids like cysteine, methionine. Cysteine serves also for the synthesis of glutathione and provides sulfur to many other molecules including protein cofactors or vitamins and antioxidants. Moreover, Cysteine is at the center of plant metabolism and plays an important role in plant life processes, especially stress resistance <bold>(De Bont <italic>et al</italic>., 2022; Lv <italic>et al</italic>., 2025)</bold>.

        <p>Tissue culture technique is used in a large scale for eco- nomically programs to produce a healthy plant, and used in the production of secondary metabolites and phytocon- stituents. Plant tissue culture used for a wide range with various applications in research and industry. In the pres- ent study detected the effects of different strengths (full, 3/4 and1/2) of MS media and influence of addition growth regulator as 0.2mg/l BAP + 0.2mg/l KIN on <italic>in vitro </italic>propa- gation of <italic>Moricandia sinaica</italic>. Seedlings derived from seeds in siliques germinated directly on (3/4 strength MS medi- um supplemented with 0.2 mg/lBAP + 0.1 mg/lKIN. Then, <italic>Moricandia sinaica </italic>plantlets propagated in vitro on differ- ent strength MS medium. Data in <bold>Table (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R2">2</xref>) and Fig. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R2">2</xref>) </bold>were Demonstrated the effect of addition 0.2 mg/l of BAP and 0.2 mg/l of KIN to different strength MS medium.The medium <bold>No. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R3">3</xref>) </bold>(1/2 MS medium without hormones) was the best media compared to another media.Medium no. 3 had positively effect on the growth of buds, with bud sur- vival of 96.66% and the mean shoot length of 2.1 cm. The lowest growth was recorded on half strength MS medium <bold>No. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R4">4</xref>) </bold>supplemented with 0.2 mg/l of BAP and 0.2 mg/l of KIN. Itrecorded the lowest bud survival percentage 70% and mean shoot length of 1.4 cm. Therefore, the propaga- tion of <italic>Moricandia sinaica </italic>is possible <italic>in vitro </italic>by planlets on</p>
        <p>½ strength MS medium.</p>
        <p>The need for medicinal plants is increasing therefore; it   is necessary to find other ways to produce the amount of plant material that is needed. Propagation through tissue culture offers a</p>
        <p>viable alternative for normal propagation because it can also be used as a complimentary strategy for conservation and utilization of genetic resources. Further, in vitro plant</p>
        <p>regeneration through</p>
        <p>vegetative parts is an easy and economical way for obtain- ing a large number of consistently uniform and truetotype plants within a short span of time <bold>(Abdalla <italic>et al</italic>., 2022</bold>). This study clear that the ½ MS medium (half strength MS medium without hormones) could be the beneficial effects with optimum growth for <italic>Moricandia sinaica </italic>plantlets. Similar results were obtained by <bold>Ray <italic>et al</italic>. (2006) </bold>who found that the ½ MS basal medium was the best elongation shoots of <italic>Cordyline terminalis </italic>(L.) and <bold>Stamenković <italic>et al</italic>., (2012) </bold>described that the maximum multiplication rate was completed with ½ MS medium on Campanula vele- bitica Borbás. Furthermore, depending on plant species,  a diluted tissue culture medium could be used with opti- mal growth (<bold>Noor El-Deen and Abdul-Moneem, 2025</bold>). In addition, media composition is one of the furthermost critical features inducing plant growth (<bold>Rezali <italic>et al</italic>., 2017; Tütüncü <italic>et al</italic>., 2019</bold>). Thus, reducing the strength of MS media could increase total chlorophyll (chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b concentration), improving germination rates, promoting more vigorous root and shoot growth, and preventing nutrient toxicity Since MS media con- tains all the macronutrients, micronutrients and vitamin, changing the strength or concentration of MS media may alter the nutrients component. Therefore, the effect of dif- ferent medium strength could also affect the plant organo- genesis in vitro. The amount of nutrients in culture media for successful culture may vary for different plant species and genotype. A study by <bold>Mukherjee <italic>et al</italic>. (2010) </bold>proved that shoot proliferation of grape rootstock was increased when cultured on MS with half</p>
        <p>of nitrate medium. Other than that, <bold>Fakhrul <italic>et al</italic>. (2014) </bold>stated that macronutrients manipulation in MS media could affect the growth of Stevia rebaudiana.</p>

The results as in <bold>Table (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R3">3</xref>) and Fig (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R3">3</xref>) </bold>cited that low doses of gamma radiation caused significantly decreasing in survival percentage and another morphological param- eter by increase doses. Furthermore, the mortality of ex- plants was increased by increase doses. The dose of 10 Gy</p>
        <p>caused decreasing in bud survival percentage to about 12% and decreased mean shoot length to 0.81 cm. The usage of dose 20 Gy was induced mortality in bud culture of about 16%. Also, the mean shoot length was affected negatively with the same dose to 1.14 cm. Furthermore, the mortal- ity was increased with the dose of 30, 40 and 50 Gy to 36, 64 and 76% respectively, similarly the mean shoot length decreased to 1.03, 1.23 and 1.70cm. The severe depression in survival percentage to 84%, and the shoot length was decreased to 2.08 cm with the dose of 60 Gy. These results are agreement with <bold>Awad <italic>et al</italic>. (2022) </bold>who stated the pres- ence of differences in morphological and growth param- eters between un-irradiated and irradiated treatments. The growth of plants irradiated with a high dose of gamma rays (50 Gy) was significantly inhibited.</p>
        <p>The reasons of inhibition plant growth and development were by direct and indirect effects of gamma radiation.</p>
        <p>Also, photosynthetic capacity was reduced by deformation of the thylakoid structure in chloroplast. So, the energy induced from photosynthesis which required for com- pleting the plant life cycle which reduced. The reduction in photosynthetic efficiency has harmful effects on plant</p>
        <p>growth, development, and reproduction. Above all, the re- production of cells was negatively affected by high doses of gamma radiation by decreased mitosis and meiosis divi- sions. So, these effects agree with <bold>Gaafar <italic>et al. </italic>(2017), </bold>who clarified the decrease in shoot and root lengths at higher gamma radiation doses on the basis of reduction in the mi- totic activity of plant tissues.</p>

        <title>Genetic diversity revealed by ISSR markers</title>
        <p>Several DNA-based markers are now available that can  be used to accurately measure genetic diversity in plant species. ISSR markers employ primers based on a repeat sequence, amplifying the sequence between two microsat- ellites producing several amplification products per prim- er, which means they are reproducible and cost effective. The genetic diversity between irradiated <italic>Morcindia sinica </italic>plantlets with different gamma radiation doses 0, 10, 20,</p>
        <p>30, 40, 50 and 60 Gy is summarized in <bold>Table (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R4">4</xref>)</bold>.A total  of 149 bands were generated from 20 ISSR primers <bold>(Fig.</bold></p>
        <p>4) and all of them are polymorphic bands by a range of    0 to 3 bands per primer with an average of 1.3 fragments per primer. The highest number of bands 11 observed by G-03, while the lowest number was 4 by ISSR 16 with an average of 7.45 bands per primer. The polymorphism per- centage varied from 33.33% to 72.7%, with the mean of polymorphism 58.55%. The size of the amplified products ranged from 104 bp (CA) to 1989 bp (ACA). The value of polymorphic information content <bold>(PIC) </bold>was varied from 0.2391(ISSR- 7) to 0.57 (ISSR-2) with an average 0.363  (<italic>PIC</italic>&lt;0.5) classifying most primers as moderately infor- mative <bold>(Yehia <italic>et al</italic>., 2020). </bold>Primers G-02, CCA, CGA, GT, AG, CA, ISSR 11, ISSR 12 and ISSR 18 recorded the high- est PIC (0.371–0.374), confirming their usefulness in de-</p>
        <p>tecting genomic variation induced by gamma rays.Marker index value <bold>(MI) </bold>was varied between 0.0176 (G-03) and 0.6449 (ISSR- 2) by an average 0.0681. Nei’s gene diversity values <bold>(H) </bold>ranged from 0.227 (ISSR- 7) to 0.6449 (ISSR-</p>
        <p>2) indicating substantial allelic variation across loci were revealed high genetic diversity, consistent with mutagen induced base substitutions, deletions, or insertions <bold>(Mu- dibu <italic>et al</italic>., 2012). </bold>The effective multiplex ratio (E) fluctu- ated from1.000 (ISSR- 2) to 5.8333 (ISSR 7). High E values point to primers capable of amplifying several informative loci simultaneously, which improves detection efficiency. Equally, the arithmetic mean heterozygosity (H.av) values were 0.0062 (G-03) to 0.0145 (ISSR- 16), signifying that while many polymorphisms existed, they were distributed across a relatively small subset of loci, a characteristic fea- ture of targeted mutagenesis. The discriminating power</p>
        <p>(D) was higher ranged from 0.3089 (ISSR 7) to  0.8410(G-</p>
        <p>03) which indicating strong genotype differentiation. Also, resolving power (R) varied from 2.3333(ISSR 7) to 6.7500 (ISSR- 16). High R values indicated primers with strong diagnostic value in mutation breeding programs. ISSR (In- ter-Simple Sequence Repeats) are semi-arbitrary markers that can be amplified using PCR with one primer that par- allels to a target microsatellite. Additionally, that their am- plification does not need information about the genome</p>
        <p>sequence and revealed higher polymorphism level than RAPD and AFLP markers according to <bold>Pandotra <italic>et al</italic>. (2013). </bold>The ISSR markers have been demonstrated to be a rapid, simple, dependable, and highly informative method for DNA fingerprinting also ISSR markers afford more truthful genetic polymorphism results so, it used to evalu- ation genetic diversity, genetic stability, genetic character- ization and identification and screening of mutant plants. The impact of g-radiation by increase radiation dose which Changes in the structure of DNA, such as breaks, trans- positions, deletions, etc., can lead to the formation of new bands (unique bands) and the removal of existing bands (polymorphic bands). So ISSR analysis showing genetic variation among untreated and irradiated treated plants will be useful in distinguishing variants with differences in morphological characteristics. In the same line with <bold>El-Gazzar <italic>et al</italic>. (2023) </bold>found that gamma radiation led to the appearance of new bands and the absence of oth- ers compared to the control plants. Disappearance of ISSR</p>
        <p>bands in treated plantlets could be mentioned to damages of DNA as single or double-strand breaks, modified bases, oxidized bases, and bulky adducts. Similarly, DNA protein cross links, point mutations and rearrangement of chro- mosomes induced by gamma irradiation <bold>(Ginchner <italic>et al</italic>., 2008 and Abhay <italic>et al</italic>., 2014). </bold>Besides, it has been revealed that free radicals interact with biomolecules as DNA and eliminate electrons from them, which harm to both struc- ture and activity of the DNA. Though, the appearance of new bands could be correlated to the effect of mutation in- stead of DNA damage. Treated plants with highest doses of gamma rays caused in the highest reduction in content of genomic DNA. Similarly, the appearance or disappearance of bands under gamma irradiation might be considered as molecular markers for radiation processes <bold>(<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R23">Hussein, 2012</xref>). </bold>It has been exhibited that effects of gamma-rays on ISSR fingerprinting might be connected to structural re- arrangements in DNA caused by different types of DNA damages <bold>(Mejri <italic>et al</italic>., 2012).</bold></p>

        <p><italic>Moricandia sinaica </italic>is one of xerophytic plants in Egypt.  It used in traditional medicine and improve certain dis- orders such as syphilis, exhibits analgesic, anti-inflam- matory, antipyretic, antioxidant, anticancer and antigen toxic properties. However, it has many biologically active components. In this investigation, focused on organo- sulfur compounds were institute in <italic>Moricandia sinaica </italic>plantlets. Furthermore, study the effect of gamma radia- tion doses (0,10,20,30 and 40 Gy) by GC- MS. Data in Table 5 resume the result of gamma irradiation on pres- ence or disappearance of some organosulfur compounds. The GC-MS analysis presented that there are13 bioactive organosulfur compounds in both irradiated and non-ir- radiated samples were recorded. Some compounds being synthesized and others degraded depending on the impact of irradiation. Gamma radiation doses (10, 20, 30 and 40 Gy) have a negative effect on Thiocyanic acid octyl ester, MF: (C9H17NS) and 2-[3-Cyclohexylaminopropylamino] ethylthiophosphate, MF: (C11H25N2O3PS) which disap- peared from all irradiated treatments and appear in control only. While the compound 2-Aminoethanethiol hydrogen sulfate (Ester), MF: (C2H7NO3S2) were appeared in all treatments. Dose 40 Gy Participate with control in two compounds are ç-Thionodecalactone,MF: (C10H18OS) and 5à-androstan-16- one cyclic ethylene mercaptole , MF: (C21H34S2),with the proportion of these two compounds in dose 40 Gy being higher than the control. The com- pound 2-Myristynoyl pantetheine, MF: (C25H44N2O5S) appeared in all treatments except dose 20 Gy with higher proportion than the control. Three compounds tert-Hexa- decanethiol, MF:C16H34S, D-fructose, diethyl mercap- tal penta acetate, MF: C20H32O10S2 and Cefazolin, MF: C14H14N8O4S3 were appeared with dose 30Gy only. Moreover, another three compounds Leukotriene D4 methyl ester, MF:C26H42N2O6S,Benzo(B)thiophene,2- Ethyl-5,7-dimethyl, MF: C12H14S and 1-(Decylsulfonyl)- 1-Deoxyd-Mannitol ,MF: C16H34O7S respectively were disappeared from control and appeared in doses (10, 20 and 40 Gy) respectively. The influence of gamma irradia- tion on <bold><italic>Moricandia sinaica </italic></bold>plantlets organosulfur com- pounds rehabilitated the composition and the presence of existing substances has pharmacological characteristics, the investigation revealed that, 13 bioactive compounds in both irradiated and non-irradiated samples. So, the data shows that gamma irradiation alters the composition of or- ganosulfur compounds in <italic>Moricandia sinaica </italic>for required plant growth. In this paper, <bold>Table (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R6">6</xref>) </bold>showed some biolog- ical and chemical properties of organosulfer compounds in <italic>Moricandia sinaica </italic>which antioxidant, anti-inflamma- tory , antifungal, antibacterial and insecticidal activities. Also, the compound D-Fructose, diethyl mercaptal used as A natural sugar used as a sweetener and in food applica- tions. Moreover, the 2- [3-Cyclohexylaminopropyl amino]</p>
        <p>ethylthiophosphate used as a radioprotective agent and detoxifier of platinum-based chemotherapy agents that helps reduce damage from ionizing radiation. <italic>Moricandia <bold>sinaica </bold></italic>possess valuable phytochemicals as an effective and safe antiangiogenic drugs to be used as a single ther- apy or in recipe with other chemotherapy agents to treat cancer patients and remedy the complications in diabetic retinopathy, in harmony with <bold>Farooq <italic>et al</italic>. </bold>(<bold>2020</bold>). Sulfur- containing compounds (SCCs) are pivotal secondary me- tabolites widely distributed in plants, particularly within the Brassicaceae family. Sulfur (S), is considered to be the fourth greatest central nutrient element after nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). It plays an important role in the process of plant resistance to biotic and abiot- ic stress in plants. So, is one of the essential elements for growth, photosynthesis, respiration and the formation of cell membrane structures in plants. However, is a com- ponent of amino acids, chloroplasts, sulfatides, vitamins, coenzymes, and prosthetic groups (iron–S clusters, lipoic acid, thiamine and coenzyme A <bold>(Yoshimoto and Saito, 2019; Nakaiand Maruyama-Nakashita, 2020 and Lee <italic>et al., </italic>2025</bold>). Because animals cannot synthesize S-contain- ing amino acids and plants are sources of S-compounds as Brassicaceae family vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower. These vegetables contain characteristic sulfur-containing glucosinolate compounds, which are precursors to bioactive molecules like isothiocyanates and sulforaphane. as well as Liliaceae, like garlic and onion are rich in various forms of sulfur, including sulfides, thiosul- fates, and sulfoxides. As a result of their biological func- tions, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, biocidal, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, a lower risk of developing several types of cancer, neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s, and reduced inflammatory bowel disease, mastitis, pho- toaging, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, fatty liver dis- ease, and obesity <bold>(Capaldi <italic>et al., </italic>2015; Hasanuzzaman <italic>et al</italic>., 2018; Francioso <italic>et al</italic>., 2020</bold>). Plants in the Bras- sicaceae family produce numerous sulfur-containing sec- ondary metabolites, found as a Glutathione (reduced form GSH; oxidized form GSSG) is the major non-protein thiol in plants. It plays a role as a non-enzymatic antioxidant in the ascorbate-glutathione cycle, and participates in many detoxification reactions in plants. Furthermore, GSH is also known as a central regulator of plant signaling dur- ing plant–pathogen interactions (<bold>Künstler <italic>et al</italic>., 2020</bold>)<bold>. </bold>Glutathione is formed by the combination of γ-glutamate and cysteine via γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase (GSH1) through peptide bond and at the same time is combined with glycine catalyzed by glutathione synthase catalyzed by (GSH2) <bold>(Noctor <italic>et al</italic>., 2012</bold>). Both GSH1 and GSH2 are coded by a single gene and have been observed in Ara- bidopsis spp. Any alteration in one of the two genes can undergo mutations. GSH biosynthesis is affected by many factors such as sulfur availability and GSH1 activity. Genes</p>
        <p>such as GSTM1 and GSTP1 and many more are respon- sible for the regulation of glutathione metabolism, as these genes produce enzymes that help to maintain homeostasis by glutathione recycling in plants (<bold>Hyman, 2010</bold>).Gam- ma radiation can alteration in composition of the general metabolic and various biomolecules as sulfur-containing compounds, as a part of biochemical changes caused by the induced stress. In addition to producing both sin- glestrand DNA breaks (SSBs) and double-strand DNA</p>
        <p>breaks (DSBs), intrinsic DNA damage may include the loss of a base to form an abasic site, chemical modification of a base to form a miscoding or noncoding lesion, and sugar- phosphate backbone breakage. The accumulation of such damages (unrecognized and unrepaired DNA damage) may cause lethal mutations which in turn can reduce plant genome stability, growth, and productivity and also threat- en the organism’s immediate survival <bold>(Tuteja <italic>et al</italic>., 2001).</bold></p>
