Research Interest:
Dr Abdel Rahman Al-Tawaha research interests are in the area of crop eco-physiology.
They can be broken down into several specific areas of activity.
One of these is the development of Mediterranean flora as a source of nutraceuticals.
Nutraceuticals can be defined as any non-toxic food component that has health promoting,
disease preventing or medicinal properties. Such products may include any natural bioactive
chemical compounds including isoflavones. Flavonoids are natural products that are widely
distributed in the plant kingdom, it consist of major subgroups: chalcone, flavone, flavonol,
flavanone, anthocyanins and isoflavone. The main objective of our research in this area. To
identify strategies that will allow the production of Mediterranean flora with high isoflavone
concentrations, with the goal of developing a new value-added niche market for agricultural
producers of Middle East.
A second area is to evaluate the potential of using natural elicitors as a means of increasing plant
growth. Being involved in plant defence response and plant-microbe interactions, flavonoid
production by plants (including isoflavones) may be increased when plants recognize certain
molecules or structures that characterize a pathogen or a symbiont; such compounds are known
as elicitors. Consequently the use of biotic or abiotic elicitors of plant defence response has been
evaluated for a number of years as a pest biocontrol strategy.
A third area is the evaluation of new crop species for South part of Jordan. Here our research will
focus on adapted forage species including Cactus, Fodder beet, Mustard and Oat, and industrial
crop such as Jojoba. Research areas include cultivar evaluation, crop nutrition and new species
evaluation.
