Phytochemical Analysis of Some Celery Accessions
The essential oil, phenolic acids, and other constituents in three accessions of celery (Apium graveolens L) were investigated to determine phytochemical variability that lead to differences in yield and phytochemical profiles. The celery accessions were all grown in pots under the same environmental conditions. Analyses were done on two planting of three harvests each to determine and compare the levels of anthocyanin, carotenoids, chlorophyll, phenolic acids, rosmarinic acid, soluble sugars, tannins, and essential oil content. Except for carotenoids, significant variations in the phytochemical profiles among the three celery accessions were observed

Morphological and Molecular Analysis of Three Celery Accessions
Celery (Apium graveolens L.), a culinary herb and vegetable, is considered a good source of the essential oil and phenolic acids for use as a food, medicine, and flavoring agent. Substantial plant to plant variation within celery, however, indicates a high degree of genetic inconsistency that affects plant quality and yield. This study evaluated the fresh and dry weights and leaf characteristics of three celery genotypes grown in a greenhouse. The genotypes were also screened for polymorphic RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) markers. Celery Accessions were found to differ in fresh and dry weight. Our study demonstrated that RAPD technique could be a suitable tool for genotypes identification and classification in celery
