Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Iranian tulips revealed by EST-SSR and NBS-LRR Markers

The genus Tulipa L. (Liliaceae) comprises about 100 species and Iran is considered as one of the main origins of tulips. In this research, genetic diversity and population structure of 27 wild populations of tulips collected from Iran were studied by 15 highly polymorphic and reproducible expressed sequenced tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers and 8 nucleotide binding site (NBS)-enzyme...

Genetic population structure and differentiation of Western Iranian Oxynoemacheilus argyrogramma (Heckel, 1847) using SSR markers

This study was carried out to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of 90 specimens of Oxynoemacheilus argyrogramma collected from Sepidbarg, Gamasiab and Ghaleji rivers, in the west of Iran. Analyses using three microsatellite loci indicated that the average number of alleles in the population was 12, which was well above the reported values for freshwater fishes. The expe...

phylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...

Population genetic diversity influences colonization success.

Much thought has been given to the individual-level traits that may make a species a successful colonizer. However, these traits have proven to be weak predictors of colonization success. Here, we test whether population-level characteristics, specifically genetic diversity and population density, can influence colonization ability on a short-term ecological timescale, independent of longer-ter...
