Within the activities of the cultural season of the Environmental Research Center, Assistant Lecturer Asmaa Nafi Badri gave a Lecture entitled (Molecular and quantitative genetic evaluation of pure introduced lines of cherry tomato under protected cultivation conditions)

It touched on a molecular genetic study of the genetic content of eight pure lines of cherry tomato: (1) LA3002 (2) LA2838A (3) LA0797 (4) LA4355 (5) LA7371 (6) LA3534 (7) LA3535 (8) LA3530 Brought from the center Genetic sources of tomato at the University of California - Davis, USA, CM Rick Tomato Genetics Center (TGRC), University of California in Davis, USA, using 15 primers (10 of the internal sequence type (ISSR) and 5 of which are type of simple tandem sequences (SSR) in order to establish its genetic fingerprint. In light of their results, the degree of genetic distance between them was determined, and in the second stage, the pure lines of cherry tomato were included in a comparison experiment among them based on the behavior of their field characteristics and were planted according to a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates.

Within the activities of the cultural season of the Environmental Research Center, Assistant Lecturer Ban Samari Attia gave a lecture entitled (Biodegradation of Crude Oil Using Two Types of Blue-Green Algae Anabaena variabilis and Oscillatoriaamoena)

 The lecture touched on the process of biodegradation of crude oil using types of cyanobacteria that were isolated from the Doura refinery. Polluted water samples were collected from the biological treatment unit and the final disposal unit to the Tigris River, which were then analyzed to estimate a number of physical and chemical parameters. These variables were used to determine the characteristics of the Daura Refinery waste, as it will be thrown into the Tigris River after treatment. The results indicated that the values ​​of some variables were outside the limits permitted by the Iraqi environmental determinants, while the results of the values ​​of other variables, such as temperature, biological oxygen requirement, and the pH function, were Within permissible limits.
