Abstract: Forest species represent an incalculable source of current and potential genetic resources for humanity. Therefore, understanding and characterizing these resources are crucial to clarify significant aspects of species' biology for management, conservation, and genetic improvement purposes. In this context, the use of molecular techniques is vital, as they provide adequate and precise information, in contrast to phenotypic information or the use of morphological markers. Molecular analysis of plants using microsatellite markers has various applications in genetic conservation and plant breeding. With this in mind, the aim of this study was to review the key aspects related to microsatellite markers, their advantages and disadvantages compared to other markers, their main applications, and......

Abstract: Investigating the role that HRM plays in creating an inclusive workplace for staff members was the aim of this study. An investigation into whether or not workers are given the right atmosphere at work is necessary as they are a vital part of the company. The ability of employees to contribute to the workplace to the fullest extent possible is referred to as inclusion. Because it allows employees to feel safe in their surroundings, feel accepted, and express themselves freely, inclusion is crucial. A work environment where people with diverse characteristics are integrated into the organization's culture is referred to as an inclusive workplace. The work primarily focuses on.....
