Abstract

In the current study, the gene expression of FLS gene prefixes was studied in the leaves of the plants of Zingiber officinale, Vitis vinifera, Phoenix dactylifera. This was done using a sample of Artemisia annua leaves as a control sample and using the reference gene 18s rRNA. Relative Quantification gene expression was relied upon as an approved method to extract results. This gene is responsible for encoding Flavonol synthase, which encodes Flavonol compounds in the flavonoid metabolism chain in various plant kingdom plants that perform multiple plant functions as well as directly related to human health. Ginger Z. officinale was proved to have the highest gene expression at CT= 31.6, while V. vinifera and date palm P. dactylifera followed respectively with values 33.78 and 38.31.
